086 | In this wood and near the South end of it, is a large stone, standing upright about 4 feet in height, pillar shaped. & worn away in the middle as by the action of a chain. Regarding this stone there is no tradition farther than that legend in reference to the 2 Witches who met with Macbeth, to advise with him as to the fate of Kingdom. "During Macbeth's reign Witchcraft was very prevalent in Scotland, and 2 of the most famous Witches in the Kingdom lived on each hand of Macbeth, one at Collace, the other not far from Dunsinane house at a place Called the Cape. The Muir where the witches met, is yet pointed out by the country people, and there is a Stone still preserved, which is called the Witches' Stone. The Muir is now planted by the proprietor, to whom also Carnbeddie belongs" Old Stat Acct. [Old Statistical Account] |
