Renfrewshire Witches 1697

This is a new page for Renfrewshire Witch Hunt 1697 to continue with post Covid-19 administration.

[Lorraine @Wolf_Q4]

On 4th June 1563, the Scottish #Witchcraft Act was passed by the Scottish Parliament.
This great article by Prof Julian Goodare, "The Scottish Witchcraft Act" 2005 is worth reading to understand its origins, authorship, etc.
