A wonderful wander with stones, witches and wizards!

In June, I journeyed along the Fife Witches Trail to stand at the stone we call Lilias Adies’ grave and to pay my respects to the accused witches of Scotland at Dunferlimne Abbey.

Happy Solstice Season to All!

This is a bit of a wandering journey! Where did the name Witches Castle come from? And what role do the fairies play? Listen and learn more!
