The Church of Scotland have apologised for the execution of thousands of people believed to be witches, hundreds of years ago.
A motion was agreed at the Church' General Assembly this week, calling for the body to "acknowledge and regret the terrible harm caused" to thousands of people, mainly women.
The executions were of people accused of sorcery throughout the 16th, 17th and 18th century, to which the Church have apologised for their role in such a historical persecution.
