Yes, I am a witch. What makes Isobel different than others who also were accused of witchcraft? She confessed without the usual torture treatment. Regarded as a great storyteller, her own story has become a thing of legend gracing the pages of books, music and the halls of academia...until now, we bring her story to you. Pauline talks to Melissa Davies, curator of Nairn Museum; Andrew Grant MacKenzie, Highland historian; Helen Wright who designed the mural to Isobel on display in Auldearn and Ash William Mills - author of The Black Book of Isobel Gowdie.
