The fresh telling of the famous and sensational Scottish trials
featured in this wide-ranging collection will enthral today's
reader just as much as the drama of the original trials must have
fascinated those who were following what was happening in court at
the time. The people whose trials are covered in this book include:
royal Scots accused of crimes against the Crown (for example, Mary
Queen of Scots and Charles I) and those less noble accused of
nefarious crimes such as burglary and worse (for example, Deacon
Brodie and Burke and Hare); men like Joseph Knight, who today is
seen as the man whose court case helped demonstrate Scotland was
always against slavery, and Thomas Muir, whose actions in support
of freedom for the common man were interpreted as seditious and
worthy of punishment by transportation to Australia; and women like
Madeleine Smith, who was accused of poisoning her lover in strict
Victorian times.
