Wolves

The Scots totally eradicated wolves from the country, so now deer overpopulation is making forest restoration extremely difficult. But I have since seen in National Geographic that Scotland may become the first "rewilded" nation!



As to witches, they were also eradicated. Something like 4,200 were put on trial. They were thrown into heavily polluted water: if they sank they were innocent (but dead); if they floated they were guilty and put to death. We heard about the witches' history, and we tried to get into a witch-themed restaurant, but we didn't take any witch-related photos.

   
Us, and "Double double Toil and trouble!"

If we had lived in the 1500s we probably would have been accused. I wonder if we would have sunk.
