Virtual Conference | November 2021

Virtual Conference | November 2020

A virtual conference with contributions from artists, authors, historians and campaigners for social justice who want to give recognition to the people accused of witchcraft in Scotland and to talk about the possibilities of a national memorial, a pardon and raising awareness.

Launch of the Fife Accused Witches Trail

In September 2019 we worked with the West Fife Heritage Network to launch the Fife Accused Witches Trail. Three plaques lead from Culross to Torryburn, and the burial site of Lilias Adie.

Conference | May 2019, Dunfermline

Our first event was held in the Glen Pavilion, Dunfermline. We welcomed key voices to share their knowledge of the Scottish Witch Trials. We also held a programme of interactive workshops, allowing us to define our aims as a group.
