The talk 'Were There Witches In The West of Scotland?' will explore the history of witch trials in Scotland, focusing on the West of Scotland's involvement. Taking place on 17 November 2026 at Inn Deep, the talk will be led by historian Lorraine Murray.
Discover the dark reality of Scotland’s witch trials, popular myths and uncover who was accused, why, and whether witches really exist
Title: Were There Witches In The West of Scotland?
Speaker: Lorraine Murray, Historian and Archivist
Between 1563 and 1736, witchcraft was a capital offence in Scotland. While Edinburgh and the Lothians saw the highest numbers of accusations, the West of Scotland followed closely behind. This talk aims to debunk modern pop-culture myths such as broomsticks, cauldrons and pointy hats to reveal a much darker reality of what was really going on locally and if witches really existed.
Key audience takeaways
Belief in the magical world and witches was commonplace
Witchcraft was a capital crime
Those accused in Scotland were overwhelmingly women
