Spott was notorious for its witches in both the 17th and early 18th
centuries and the stone is supposed to be near the spot where
Marion Lillie, the Ringwoodie Witch, was burnt to death around
1698. It has been claimed that she was the last witch to be burnt
in Scotland, however, three other executions took place in Spott in
1705, one being described as a "burning", the usual fate for those
convicted of witchcraft. The location of this is uncertain and may
have been Spott Loan, a road leading up hill out of Spott.
There are also others elsewhere in Scotland, so be warned...
The stone appears to gathering 'offerings' thesedays. Do you
dare risk not leaving one?!
