Last night on The World there was the following radio segment:

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.”
