    New tartan design to honor women persecuted by Scotland’s Witchcraft Act

    "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. Host Marco Werman speaks with Claire Mitchell, a lawyer and co-founder of the Witches of Scotland campaign.”
