It led to hundreds of innocent women being executed for imaginary crimes, and in the case of Geillis Duncan, the personal involvement of James VI, King of Scots. In reality, witches were innocent, terrified, tortured, falsely accused people who were stereotyped by others in their society. A reminder which is valid even now of the dangers of jumping to conclusions about people who are perceived to be different in some way.
Co - Presenter of Witch Hunt and real life witch expert in her own right, Dr. Louise Yeoman, delves into Geillis’s story and the events leading up to her execution on Edinburgh’s Castlehill in an iPlayer special available now: https://bbc.in/2paEUpd
