Scotland just turned 2,500 executions into a pattern you can wear. It’s called the Witches of Scotland tartan, a living memorial to the people, mostly women, killed under the Witchcraft Act between 1563 and 1736. Every thread is doing a job. Grey stands for the ashes. Red is the blood. Pink nods to the legal ribbons that bound the trial papers, and black holds the whole dark history together. Then there’s a tiny white check of three threads for what campaigners demanded: a pardon, an apology, a memorial. Nicola Sturgeon delivered the apology in 2022. The tartan makes sure nobody forgets why it was needed.
