Oral Testimony

Oral Testimony


In this section of the website, you can listen to the interviews that local students conducted. Dr Sue Morrison provided oral history training to students at Dumbarton Academy, Johnstone High School, and Park Mains High School. The students then used these interviewing skills to collectively explore the story of the Renfrewshire witch hunt of 1697. The interviews that they conducted revealed a variety of opinions, and an impressive depth of knowledge regarding the original story. Their hard work has enhanced the project greatly. We are delighted to present the following audio clips of their amazing work.
