I thought this article was pretty interesting. And I love the idea of a special tartan. (Hopefully this link works.)

It works!
Thank you for sharing.

I agree that this kind of history needs to be kept in the public eye so those who revel in fake news understand that the world’s people are not stupid.

I’m grateful for the tartan and its depth of symbolism.

I hear a lot about the Salem Witch Trials (perhaps because it’s closer location-wise), so it’s always interesting to hear about witch history from other parts of the world. My heart goes out to the women hurt in the Scottish Witch Hunts and I agree that it’s essential to keep these painful but important lessons in the news. Hopefully, learning from history will help prevent similar atrocities in the future. So mote it be

The tartan is beautiful!

Thanks for sharing, @veronica1
