The latest witch burning in Scotland by Jan Egil Kristiansen

The bleak memory of a terrible event.

More info on site.

Janet Horne was burned alive in a tar barrel at this site in 1727. She did not get her name on the stone - maybe just as well, as they didn't even get the year right.

I was too busy with my camera to notice I did trespass on a private garden. Sorry about that.

Here lies interr’d in hopes of a joyful refurrection
The REMAINS of MR GAMALIEL FAIR
Gardener and Seeds-man
Who by his abundant care
And great assiduity in Bufesinefs
Acquired a handfome fortune
Which defcended to his Wife and Daughter
In Gratitude of which his widow order’d this Infcription
To his memory
He died December 17th 1758
Aged 69

Alfo of
Sarah his fecond wife

Lotta gravestones showing lately...

I've noticed that too, Jet. It would be interesting to eventually correlate the change in post numbers to the "themes"...it would probably show some kind of predictable trend. I'm reminded of how it's been shown that there is a correlation between google search terms and social/political/world events.
