Janet Horne (died 1727) was the last person to be executed legally for witchcraft in the British Isles.

The trial was conducted very quickly; the sheriff, Captain David Ross, had judged both guilty and sentenced them to be burned at the stake.

The daughter managed to escape, but Janet was stripped, smeared with tar, paraded through the town on a barrel and burned alive.

Janet (or Jenny) Horne was also a generic name for witches in the north of Scotland at the time and this makes it difficult to determine what the real name of this woman may have been.

[4] The Witch's Stone in Littletown, Dornoch, marks the alleged spot of Horne's execution.
