   Tonight on The World there was the following radio segment:   
      
   New tartan design to honor women persecuted by Scotland’s Witchcraft Act   
      
   "A new Scottish tartan has been designed to honor the thousands of   
   individuals — mostly women — who were executed between 1563 and 1736   
   under Scotland’s Witchcraft Act. The Witches of Scotland tartan is part of   
   a campaign to recognize what advocates call one of the greatest miscarriages   
   of justice in the nation’s history. Host Marco Werman speaks with Claire   
   Mitchell, a lawyer and co-founder of the Witches of Scotland campaign.”
