I know what my preference is.....Paisley has everything to offer a unique educational experience in relation to the witch hunts and subsequent trials. Re-tweet if you feel the same!!! @RenCouncil @PaisleyTrust @PDEofficial @PaisleyFirst @GeorgeAdam @MhairiBlack @paisleyis
If there was a Museum of the Witch Hunts in Scotland - would you visit it? RETWEET if the answer is YES and let’s see how much twitter support there is!
