The Witches of Upper Quoig

The story goes that two men at Clathick, rising early one May morning, saw the pair coming up the burn-side, putting a tether across the stream and saying, 'Come all to me.' The spell gave the witches' dairy a double supply of milk, while their neighbours had none. The author comments that many poor old women lost their lives on less than that charge. The exact site of Upper Quoig is not certain, so the pin sits near Loch Monzievaird.
