The witching hour has arrived — a time for reflection. Walk in the footsteps of those who endured Scotland’s witch trials. Experience the accusations, the trials, and ultimately, the truth.

Be transported to a dark era dominated by a king obsessed with the ‘otherworldly’. Under the guidance of a master storyteller, listen intently and perhaps reconsider…

Was it persecution of the vulnerable, the wise, and the skilled? Driven by fear and envy? Fueled by religious fervor?

In the courts, there was no justice, nor truth in the tribunals for those accused of being ‘witches’. On this tour, our award-winning master storytellers illuminate the truth behind the trials and the real reasons for the witch crazes that spread like a plague for centuries, throughout Scotland and beyond.
