Excellent- More about The Last Witch of Scotland: A bewitching story based on true events
Aila and her mother, Janet, move to the remote parish of Loth, north-west of Inverness, after a tragic fire kills her father. When a temporary minister arrives, he develops a strange curiosity for them, setting them further apart from the community. A motley troupe of traveling entertainers from Edinburgh, led by Jack, arrives and provides a distraction for Janet and Aila. However, faith is more powerful than truth and whispers are more dangerous than fire in this small community. The Last Witch of Scotland is a story of love, loyalty, and sacrifice inspired by the true story of the last person executed for witchcraft in Britain.

In the aftermath of a tragic fire that claims the lives of her father and mother, Aila and Janet relocate to the remote parish of Loth, situated north-west of Inverness. The women struggle to blend in, with Aila bearing visible scars from the fire and Janet grappling with the loss of reality. When a temporary minister arrives in the area, his peculiar interest in the two women further isolates them from the community. However, their lives take a turn for the better when a group of traveling entertainers from Edinburgh, led by the enigmatic Jack, arrives in Loth. Their arrival brings joy and friendship into Aila and Janet's lives, offering a much-needed respite from the sorrow and isolation they have endured.
But beneath the surface of this newfound happiness, a darker force looms. In this small community, faith holds greater sway than truth, and whispers carry more weight than fire. The Last Witch of Scotland is a haunting and profoundly moving tale that delves into the themes of love, loyalty, and sacrifice, inspired by the true story of the last person executed for witchcraft in Britain. It resonates with fans of Outlander, The Mercies, and The Witches of Vardo, as well as those with an interest in the history of witchcraft, late Renaissance Scotland, and Highland history.
