Tour Scotland short 4K Autumn travel video , with Scottish music, of a short road trip drive to the Maggie Wall Witch Monument on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Strathearn, Perthshire. Maggie Wall burnt here 1657 as a witch. She was one of over four thousand women executed for witchcraft in Scotland during the 16th and 17th Centuries. Located west of Dunning by the B8062 to Auchterarder Road. Witch trials in early modern Scotland were the judicial proceedings in Scotland between the early sixteenth century and the middle of the eighteenth century concerned with crimes of witchcraft. In the late middle age there were a handful of prosecutions for harm done through witchcraft, but the passing of the Witchcraft Act 1563 made witchcraft, or consulting with witches, capital crimes. An estimated 4,000 to 6,000 people, mostly from the Scottish Lowlands, were tried for witchcraft in this period, a much higher rate than for neighbouring England. Autumn leaf color or colour is a phenomenon that affects the normally green leaves of many deciduous trees and shrubs by which they take on, during a few weeks in the Autumn season, various shades of red, yellow, purple, black, orange, pink, magenta, blue and brown. The phenomenon is commonly called autumn colours or autumn foliage in British English and fall colors, fall foliage or simply foliage in American. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome. When driving on Scottish roads in Scotland slow down and enjoy the trip. Meteorological Autumn or Fall is different from standard and astronomical Autumn and begins September 1 and ends November 30.
