The Lost Witches of Dunkeld

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...

The comfortable and aesthetically pleasing cafe seating attracted praise and provided ideal places for small groups to gather at the tables, enjoying excellent food and drinks! Visitors remarked upon your new signage, now so much easier to navigate to the various rooms within the venue.
