Tribute to accused witches in Edinburgh

Sightseeing

Message from Kieran - Exploring Scotland

The Witches' Well in Edinburgh Castle is a small fountain that pays tribute to the women accused of witchcraft and unjustly executed between the 15th and 18th centuries. This eerie reminder of Scotland's dark past stands as a haunting symbol of the mass hysteria and injustice that once plagued the country. So next time you visit, take a moment by the well and remember the innocent lives lost to superstition and fear.
