A bronze plaque on the village green in Culross, facing the Town House where the accused were held, is decorated with 32 crosses for the accused and reads that they were innocent victims of unenlightened times. Wikipedia's article on Culross says the West Kirk fell out of use before 1633 and was the alleged meeting place of the four women executed in 1675.
Modern visitor pages say ghosts of tortured Culross witches have been reported at Culross Palace, which is recorded separately. The 1675 confessions came from women in custody and should be read as forced accounts.
