At the height of the Scottish Witch Hunts, seven people were tried for witchcraft in Paisley, 1697, and executed on the Gallow Green - round the corner from this venue - based on the testimony of a young girl Christian Shaw. Learn the full story of the investigation, the trial and the aftermath. You can buy a coffee and home-made cakes at Skirlies.
The cost of the ticket can be deducted from the price of the book (£12). The book has been reprinted by Paisley Publishing from the original 1809 text.
