Dark Caledonia: Morgan Cry, Kate Foster, Louise Heren

Scotland’s rich history is scarred by a dark underbelly of misogyny and injustice which serves as the inspiration for these three extraordinary books.A woman accused of witchcraft flees persecution in a land of fear and superstition in Morgan Cry’s gripping Dark Accords.

A wife’s scandal and a husband’s callous revenge form the heart of Kate Foster’s The Repentants, a chilling tale of betrayal, exile and survival.

Louise Heren’s Scottish History in 15 Violent Crimes is a remarkable exploration of Scottish society through real-life criminal cases.This event will be chaired by arts critic Alistair Braidwood.
