From 1563 until 1736 witchcraft was a capital offence in Scotland – a crime punishable by death. The west of Scotland, second only to Edinburgh and Lothian, had a huge number of accusations during this time. Join Lorraine Murray to find out more about some of the places connected with cases in and around Glasgow.
Lorraine is a professional Archivist who works at the Watt Institution in Greenock and The Glasgow Academy Archive in Kelvinbridge. She has been researching historic witchcraft in Glasgow for the last 8 years.
Please note entry to the museum is via the old Royal Infirmary Entrance on Cathedral Square. There is accessible access via the main hospital entrance, off Castle Street. For more information please click here.
