A very scarce piece of 19th century Scottish ephemera.

Between 1730 and 1757 several accusations of “Witchcraft and enchantments” were brought against various women in the Perthshire town of Kenmore. These accusations were found in the records of the Kirk Session, a church court responsible for monitoring moral and religious behaviour. These appear, in the main, to have been a conflation of traditional Highland charms and superstitions with the ‘diabolical arts’.
