Town pardons executed 'witches'

"Dozens of 'witches' executed in a Scottish town more than 200 years ago are to be pardoned to mark Halloween.

Prestonpans, in East Lothian, will grant the pardons under ancient feudal powers which are about to disappear.

Descendants and namesakes of the 81 people executed are expected to attend Sunday's ceremony."
