    About this ebook

    This insightful essay delves into old Scottish records to uncover the grisly truth behind the country’s witch trials.

    First published in 1830, this short fascinating volume reveals the true extent of demonology and witchcraft in Scotland. Disclosing multiple tales that evidence supernatural presences, Walter Scott chronicles the eerie history of sorcery in his home country.

    Sir Walter Scott

    Sir Walter Scott was born in Scotland in 1771 and achieved international fame with his work. In 1813 he was offered the position of Poet Laureate, but turned it down. Scott mainly wrote poetry before trying his hand at novels. His first novel, Waverley, was published anonymously, as were many novels that he wrote later, despite the fact that his identity became widely known.
