Here in the states, we talk a lot about the witch trials in Salem, but Scotland has a vast and dark history with witches, too. Today, we’re going to zero in on the folklore and history of witches in Scotland, known as bana-bhuidseach.
Niall Cooper joins the show to read an excerpt from Robert Burns’ “Tam O’Shanter.”
This episode was researched and written by Lindsey Morse. Our theme music was composed by Graeme Ronald.
