Witchcraft

Jean Hunter of Fetteresso, Hanged as a Witch in 1659

Fetteresso Castle, near Stonehaven

1659

The record is short. The Survey of Scottish Witchcraft database and local court papers would be the places to look for the charges and any witnesses, and they were not consulted for this entry.

The castle was altered in the later 17th century by the Duff family. A separate folk tale that Malcolm I is buried in a cairn near Fetteresso, called Malcolm's Mount, is given in the same article and is a legend.
