A new Scottish tartan has been designed to honor the thousands of individuals — mostly women — who were executed between 1563 and 1736 under Scotland’s Witchcraft Act. The Witches of Scotland tartan is part of a campaign to recognize what advocates call one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in the nation’s history.
