## About this item

The Last Witch of Scotland is a historical witch novel by Philip Paris, set in the Scottish Highlands in 1727. After a fire kills her father, Aila and her mother Janet move to the remote parish of Loth. It suits fans of Outlander, The Mercies and The Witches of Vardo.

The paperback runs to 352 pages and measures 197 x 127 x 21 mm. Aila is badly burned and carries visible injuries, and a travelling troupe from Edinburgh led by the charismatic but mysterious Jack brings her a hope she has not felt since her father's death.

Aila's story sits at the heart of the book, where faith is more powerful than truth and whispers can be more dangerous than fire. It is a strong pick for anyone curious about witchcraft history. Start reading The Last Witch of Scotland and step into the Highlands of 1727.
