Spott kirk. Peaceful now, but this village has a very dark history. They were still murdering women for "witchcraft" in the 18th century in this parish. That's right, still chucking people on fires only 300 years ago.

Witches Stone. Marion Lille was murdered here in 1698. Women were not safe in the Spott area until well into the 18th century. The court responsible sat near by. The stone was until recently neglected, but has now been given some protection. It still has some folkloric value, coins are left on it.
