Our Sarah Jack has something special to unwrap.
From the Scottish Register of Tartans: This design was created to memorialise those who suffered as a result of The Witchcraft Act 1563 to 1736 in Scotland. This tartan will be woven to make products to help create a ‘living memorial’. The black & grey colours are intended to represent both the dark times of this period and ashes of those burned. It also incorporates red & pink colours, symbolic of the legal tapes used to bind papers both during that time and now. The threadcount of this design incorporates the years 1563 and 1736, represented as single entries, 1+5+6+3 = 15 and 1+7+3+6 = 17. These are shown in black and grey surrounding a white check of 3 threads, these threads represent the core objectives of the organisation, which are to ensure a pardon, an apology and memorials are achieved. The large black section of 173 threads is intended to represents the 173 years of darkness and red & pink sections are repeated 3 times, for the 3 prime objectives of the Witches of Scotland organisation.
