Scotland was a particular hotspot as the witch craze swept Europe. Written by Gregor Stewart a native of St. Andrews and noted author of several paranormal and history titles. Stewarts travels across Scotland finding memorials to those who perished during the witch persecutions that began with the reign of James VI and continued throughout the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries. The author traces the history of each site as best as one is able. At times local tradition contrasts with historical record. A very specialized and fascinating title. The books small format makes it perfect to throw into your pack and bring along while exploring.
