A blue eyed person prominently wears a black, grey, white, red, and pink plaid tartan wool scarf wrapped about their neck, covering their face from the nose down. One end of the scarf hangs down over their plum colored sweater clad shoulder, showing a small wooden tag with the capital W logo of the Witches of Scotland pinned through the corner. 
They wear a periwinkle hand knit hat, with turquoise and black curls covering their forehead. They stand in front of shelves containing plants and trinkets. A few small framed art prints and photos on the walls, along with a cat mask, and art stuffie.

Been having a pretty shit time lately, so it was really lovely to receive my #WitchesOfScotland memorial tartan scarf in the mail today, that my mom pre-ordered for my birthday in Nov.
The symbolism is very meaningful. Handwoven in the highlands. A connection to ancestors.

This is the first tartan designed to honour the victims of Scotland's witch trials, where over 4,000 individuals, predominantly women, were persecuted between 1563 and 1736.

Anything and everything to vilify, demean, blame & punish women. It's an eons-old tactic (i.e. Witches) in certain circles that needs continuous and persistent pushback. #witchesofscotland

Good to see @adberginwriter.bsky.social, the #WitchesOfScotland quarrelsome dames Claire and Zoe, Judith Langland-Scott and another local author from Hexham whose name I've forgotten talking about the #Newcastle #witch hunt of 375 years ago.

This is an excellent book. Well researched and written in an engaging conversational style which belies the darkest parts of Scots history. It ends with a warning- that history could easily repeat due to the double curse of othering and male violence to women #witchesofscotland

Pilgrimage remembers women condemned as witches Ruth Dillon and Eleanor Dale will walk along the River Yare to Great Yarmouth in 17th-Century dress.

Thanks to the #WitchesOfScotland campaign and ensuing book #HowToKillAWitch, I'm finding myself unexpectedly drawn to the historical tales of (mostly) women who were tortured and killed in Britain in the 16th-17th century.
Would like to walk this trail in Norfolk at some point, too!

My tartan throw arrived today. This tartan was created in honor of the thousands of women and men who were executed as witches in Scotland between the years of 1563 and 1736 in a huge miscarriage of justice. #scotland #witchesofscotland #tartan

An excellent evening listening to a Q&A with Barrister Claire Mitchell, discussing the witch hunts, misogyny and 16th-17th legal proceedings for executing witches.

@stevenaitchison.bsky.social’s third volume in the #WitchesOfScotland #EdinburghFiles series really takes things to new (and worryingly realistic) heights, as it looks at political and corporate corruption on a global scale. Well worth reading, but beware sleepless nights! #Witchysky #Booksky

Looking forward to reading this book that is signed and dedicated by the authors.

This book is in memory of the innocent victims of these heinous acts of witch-hunting in Scotland.

So proud to wear this beautiful memorial tartan! The Witches of Scotland #tartan is a “living memorial” in remembrance of innocent lives taken. From 1563-1736, under Scotland’s Witchcraft Act, 4000 innocent lives, most women, were falsely charged of witchcraft and executed.
