A memorial event to mark the execution of seven Renfrewshire people who had been accused of being witches is taking place next month.
A gathering will be held at the Witches’ Well on what remains of the Gallow Green in Paisley’s west end to commemorate the lives of those brutally killed in an atrocious act of injustice.
Organised by the Renfrewshire Witch Hunt 1697 campaign group – a group of activists determined to honour those accused of being witches and remind people of the area’s gruesome past – the event will see a mini-fayre held at the historic site, with a stone carver offering workshops, with the products of these sessions going on display in the garden.
