À propos de ce contenu audio
In the late 16th century, Aberdeen became a hotspot for one of the darkest chapters in Scottish history. Accusations of witchcraft spread like wildfire, fuelled by fear, superstition, and the influence of King James VI.
In 1597 alone, 31 people were accused. 27 were executed. This episode explores the paranoia behind the witch trials, the brutal treatment of the accused, and the societal forces that enabled the persecution.
Featuring expert insights from Robert Gordon University’s School of Law and Social Sciences, we reflect on what these events reveal about justice, fear, and the dangers of unchecked power.
