Scotland in the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries was a land of superstition, religious zeal, and fear. In this atmosphere, the persecution of supposed witches reached epidemic proportions.
Roy Pugh not only recounts the historical facts of the Scottish witch hunts but also examines the cultural and religious forces that made them possible. While some regions saw little activity, the Lothians and Fife became hot spots for trials, torture, and executions.
The book includes a comprehensive index of those accused of witchcraft, with outcomes where known — making it both a fascinating narrative of Scotland’s darker past and a valuable reference for anyone researching family or local history.
