This student-curated exhibition explores the unique history of witchcraft in Scotland. Delve into over 200 years of witch history through themes of medicine, gender bias, the church, witch hunts and modern representation. Explore how this fascination with magic, power and the devil led to persecution and death of supposed ‘witches’.
