Show transcript
The Scottish witch trials occurred during the 16th, 17th and early 18th centuries in Scotland. Individuals who were prosecuted as witches were often executed. Witches were recognised by the church as being capable of causing real harm. Witches were seen as linked to the devil and were therefore also heretical. Life at this time was very much dominated by the church and the desire to stamp out any connections to the devil.
