The Magic of the Festival

"9 Marche, being Weddinsday, thair wer fyve wemen, witches, brint on the Castelhill for witchcraft, all of thame confessand thair covenanting with Satan, sum of thame renunceand thair baptisme, and all of thame oftymes dancing with the Devill." -- Diary of John Nicoll, 1659
