    About this ebook

    This insightful volume details the horrifying witchcraft trials that were conducted in Fife, Scotland, through the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries.

    Fife was the worst affected region of Scotland during the country’s witch trials between the 1500s and 1700s. The volume is a fantastic insight into the horror of these trials in which an estimated 380 people were accused of practising sorcery. Most of these were women who were then subjected to torture and execution.

    Uncover the dark history of this ancient county and learn about the appalling history of witchcraft trials.
