The Accused Witches of Perthshire - New Tay Valley video talk

Midwinter has been traditionally a time for telling stories, spooky ones of ghosts and Witches... So here's a midwinter gift from the campaigning group, Remembering the Accused Witches of Scotland. The video first introduces the group and their aims, then discusses some of the history of the 'Witchcrafts Acts' in Scotland and the persecutions of people, mostly but not all women, under these. Then follow the examples of people from Perthshire who were caught up in this, and what's known of their stories.

The first few minutes have a piece of music written especially for RAWS; if you need to, you can skip to 4.40 minutes in to catch up with the talk, but if you do please go back later for the music, which is very beautiful. The video, slides and commentary are copyright © RAWS.

The talk is linked at https://youtu.be/CkEmp02CdOE?si=7MeEEKrvTkciJyE7 and will be added to our Playlist at YouTube.

Question and Answer session is on the last Monday of January (27th) at 8.00 p.m. UK time. We'll be giving the link for registration soon.
