Witchcraft on trial: the legal history of Scotland’s witch hunts

StudentsVirtual

Join Dr Alice Krzanich from the University of Aberdeen to explore the Witchcraft Act of 1563, and learn how it was used to prosecute witchcraft in Scotland during the 1500s and 1600s. You’ll discover how people defined ‘witch’, the connection to the Devil, and why the majority of those prosecuted were women. You’ll also reflect on the modern-day relevance of this history, including whether the Scottish Parliament should issue posthumous pardons to those accused and convicted of witchcraft.
