Although prosecutions in the Highland region, though far from absent, were fewer than in the Lowlands throughout the period of the witch-hunts, the region produced some of the earliest cases and is infamous for having the last known witch execution in Scotland. In this talk Dr Lizanne Henderson (University of Glasgow) suggests some possibilities as to why there was a marked difference in witch-hunting experiences between the Highlands and Lowlands. It will also explore what the nature of witch belief was in a Highland context through examination of a few selected trials for witchcraft in the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries to again ask if there was anything distinctive about the Highland experience.
