Aberdeen's gruesome witchcraft history unveiled in 900-year-old church

New light has been shed on the persecution of 'witches' during the transformation of a 900-year-old church.

The "Mither Kirk" Project has excavated the Church of St Nicholas which will eventually house a heritage centre.

The Kirk, which was a witches prison in the 1500s, has an iron ring in the walls where women and men convicted of witchcraft were chained before being burned at the stake.
