Bringing together twelve studies, this book provides an overview of
the key issues of on-going interest in the study of Scottish
witchcraft. The authors tackle various aspects of the question of
witches; considering how people came to be considered 'witches',
with new insights into the centrality of neighbourhood quarrels and
misfortune; and delving into folk belief and various acts of
witchcraft. It also examines the practice of witch-hunting, the
'urban geography' of witch-hunting, Scotland's international
witch-hunting connections and brings fresh insights to the
much-studied North Berwick witchcraft panic. Reconstructions of the
brutal and ceremonial punishments inflicted on 'witches' offers a
gruesome but compelling reminder of the importance of the subject.
