1 hour (approximately)
Offered in: English

Step into the untold story of the Highlands — a landscape shaped not only by mountains and clans, but by extraordinary women whose voices history tried to silence. This immersive talk uncovers the stories of Highland women who were dismissed as witches, erased from records, or overlooked despite the vital roles they played in their communities. Many were healers, knowledge keepers, craftswomen, mothers, and quiet leaders whose courage sustained families and villages through times of hardship and change.

But this story does not end in the past. Today, a new generation of Highland women is rising — cultural protectors, creative activists, truth-tellers and modern rebels who are shaping Scotland’s future while honouring the legacy of those who came before.

This intimate talk celebrates the women they feared then… and the women they’d fear now.

    Forgotten women.... Accused witches.... Modern rebels.... Step into the untold story of the Highlands — a landscape shaped as much by its fierce women as by its mountains and clans. This talk brings back the voices history tried to silence: the healers dismissed as witches, the mothers and makers erased from the record, and the ordinary Highland women whose courage carried communities through darkness. Their stories were never lost — only unspoken. Today, a new generation of Highland heroines is rising. From cultural protectors to creative activists, from truth-tellers to rebel weavers, these modern women are stitching new patterns into Scotland’s future. This is a celebration of the women they feared then… and the women they’d fear now.
