Spott The Witch

Coming back from Stenton, I went past this memorial on one of the little back roads near us. I've known for ages it's been there, but only saw it for the first time the other day. The sign reads:

THE WITCHES STONE OF SPOTT

Marion Lilllie, the Ringwoody Witch was burnt here in 1698.

The stone is reputed to lie on the site of the burning of the last witch in Scotland.

A strange little memorial - with, it seems, people leaving little offerings on it.
