Sorry NS.

. I have mentioned before the last witches in my home island were supposedly burnt to death in one of the fields belonging to our family property!

Was it poor old Marie Guillemotte who was executed then?

Seemingly the last 'witch' burned on the island?

My father sold the property in 1984 after it had been in the family for many centuries, so it would not be fair to qive its location.

It's OK Floo - the "many centuries" was all I needed, however if it was in England rather than Scotland being burned as witch would be unlikely as that was the Catholic punishment for heresy , in England the charge was using maleficium which usually attracted the stocks or hanging.

Guernsey did a bit of burning.

I had no idea of that. I was just told as a child that the last witch had been burnt to death in that particular field. Whether that was factual I have no idea. I grew up with a lot of remarkable stories surrounding my family home, but how many of them were the absolute truth is open to question.
