In a new four-part series, Worsley (above) shines a light on dramatic moments from the nation’s past, beginning with the notorious witch-hunts that began in Edinburgh in 1590. She highlights how issues involving class, mental health and politics may have led to the torture and murder of between 500 and 1,000 people, most of them women.
