Maggie Wall

She is best known for the memorial monument in Dunning, Perthshire inscribed with "Maggie Wall burnt here 1657 as a witch".

The group of women aimed to protect the Muschet from being disciplined, but it is thought that Wall could have been caught up in this and subsequently burnt as a witch.

[1] It is topped by a stone cross and bears the painted inscription "Maggie Wall burnt here 1657 as a witch".

[2] Author Geoff Holder tried to shed new light on Maggie Wall and the monument in his book Paranormal Perthshire.

[5] Holder concluded that the monument was very likely a folly or cenotaph to all the women burned as witches in Dunning, with Maggie Wall being a composite figure, named after the surrounding land.
