Memorial unveiled for Kinross witchcraft victims

A memorial to 11 people executed for witchcraft in Kinross has been unveiled at the home of those who condemned them.

The Witches Maze at Tullibole Castle commemorates the victims of the Crook of Devon witch trials in 1662.

The castle was once home to William Halliday and his son John who held court over the 'covens' in the village.

Lord Moncrieff, who now owns Tullibole, commissioned the maze as there is no memorial in Crook of Devon.
