Join this special Hallowe'en guided walk and hear about witchcraft in general along with the Great Witchcraze of 1596 – 97 which came to Aberdeen and resulted in many executions.
Find out what powers witches had, folklore beliefs, the torture methods used to extract confessions and the sentences.
Discover the fate of Janet Wishart and her family and the Witch of Findrack who used to meet others at the Warlock’s Stone in the Shire.
We’ll visit some places associated with the witches, starting at the Mercat Cross, Castlegate and finishing nearby after following the route.
The tour is aimed at adults, but children aged 14+ are welcome, if accompanied by an adult.
It lasts about 90 minutes and covers about ½ mile.
