Witches' Stone (Spott)

The now almost illegible information sign. There is a contributed photo on Canmore, taken in 2010, which shows the sign as it was; it reads: “The Witches Stone of Spott. Marion Lillie, the Ringwoody Witch was burnt here in 1698. The stone is reputed to stand on the site of the burning of the last witch in the South of Scotland. Near to this site the Birley Tree stood, under whose branches the local Birley Court was held.”
