Scottish Witches  - The Story of the Persecution of Witches in Scotland (1563 - 1736)Scottish Witches - The Story of the Persecution of Witches in Scotland (1563 - 1736)RRP: £5.99Our price: £3.99You save: £2.00 (33%)ViewIn sixteenth and seventeenth century Scotland, to be accused of being a 'witch' was extremely dangerous. An estimated 4000 witches were arrested, with 2000 put to their deaths in this period (from the first Act against Witches in 1563 to its repeal in 1736). Death was by strangulation at the stake, and burning, or drowning. The word of someone against you was enough evidence to be life-threatening in some cases. Today there is action to clear the names of those in Scotland who were accused and lost their lives. To date, unlike the witches of Salem, Massachusetts, USA, for example, Scotland's witches prosecuted under the law against them, have never been 'pardoned'. https://petitions.parliament.scot/petitions/PE1855Tailored For ScotlandTailored For ScotlandOur price: £20.00ViewTailored for Scotland Author : Deirdre Kinloch Anderson The Clans and Tartan Maps of Scotland (folded)The Clans and Tartan Maps of Scotland (folded)Our price: £7.99View The Comic Legend of William McGonagallThe Comic Legend of William McGonagallOur price: £9.79ViewAuthor: Charles NasmythThe Complete Poems and Songs of Robert BurnsThe Complete Poems and Songs of Robert BurnsOur price: £7.99ViewRobert Burns: The Complete Poems and Songs of Robert BurnsThe Glasgow Boys in Your PocketThe Glasgow Boys in Your PocketOur price: £9.99ViewAuthor: William Hardie
