Come long to this talk and workshop from secretary of Remembering the Accused Witches of Scotland, Louise Wilson. The Witchcraft Act of 1563 and made both the practice of "Witchcraftis, Sorsarie and Necromancie" and the act of consulting with such practitioners punishable by death. From her own research, Louise will guide us through how the Act was enforced locally and tell the stories of some of those people who were prosecuted under its enforcement.
