Scottish Witches Summary

Scottish Witches: The Story of the Persecution of Witches in Scotland by Lily Seafield

As a QC tries to get a pardon in Scotland for those accused of witchcraft in the past, this new edition of Scottish Witches explains why Scotland pursued witches - 4000 people were accused of witchcraft and 2000 were killed by strangulation at the stake, burning and drowning. Prejudice, discrimination, intolerance and fear possessed Scotland before and during the Reformation and caused King James I and VI to lead a period of superstition, intolerance and killing.
