At school, she alarmed her fellow pupils with her dire prophecies and hysterical behaviour, to the distress of her mother, who was a member of the Presbyterian church. After leaving school, she worked at Dundee Royal Infirmary, and in 1916 she married Henry Duncan, a cabinet maker and wounded war veteran, who was supportive of her supposed supernatural talents. A mother of six, she also worked part time in a bleach factory. She became a Scottish medium best known as the last person to be imprisoned under the British Witchcraft Act of 1735. She was famous for producing ectoplasm made from cheesecloth. On her release in 1945, Duncan promised to stop conducting séances, but she was arrested during another one in 1956. She died at her home in Edinburgh, on 6 December 1956, a short time later. Callander is 41 miles from Perth, Perthshire, via the A9 and A84 roads.
