- Synopsis
- The years between 1600 and 1700 were a period of war, famine, plague and religious upheaval in Scotland.A time when ordinary women, and men, of the Scottish Borders who fell under the suspicion of the Kirk would face interrogation and torture.A time when fear of Auld Nick turned the world upside down and the cry of witch would almost always lead to the rope and the flame.Mary Craig explores this tremulous period of Scottish history and examines the causes and effects of the 17th century witchcraft trials and executions in the Scottish Borders.
