THE LOST WITCHES OF DUNKELD
Think you know about Witches? Think again
In the 1600s a vicious war was waged against so-called witches and to be labelled as one could be fatal, but what happened in Dunkeld and the surrounding areas was quite different.
Local storyteller Lindsey Gibb will introduce you to the women and men who were accused of witchcraft in this area and their surprising fates. Amongst many others, you'll meet Margaret, Countess of Atholl, the truculent Robert Small of Meigle, Dunkeld's Issobell Douglas and Margaret Stewart who fought back.
It'll change how you think about witches...
