"fontaine et plaque commémorant les plaques The hunt for witches in Scotland already started around 1479, but increased enormously when James VI of Scotland became obsessed with the occult. The son of Mary, Queen of Scots and Lord Darnley, married Anne of Denmark and Norway in 1590. The Danish court was extremely concerned with witchcraft and black magic. During his time there, James was fascinated by the trials and executions and became convinced Scotland needed such a system, as well. When James and Anne made the journey from Scandinavia to Scotland, their ship alomost sunk due to heavy storms. James thought this might have been the work of witches. Back in Scandinavia, six women were imprisoned and accused of tempering with storms. The women were tortured and eventually confessed to the crime. They claimed they wanted to keep Anne in Scandinavia and they were burned at the stake. Following this event, James installed a tribunal in Scotland and the with hunt was a fact. Many men and women lost their lives because of this. The Monument The Monument is not far from where the accused were burned and killed. It’s easy to miss the monument because it’s a bit small and tucked away. Most people are focused on Edinburgh Castle, so you really must know where to look. The Witches’ Well was commissioned by Sir Patrick Geddes in 1894 and designed by his friend and srtist John Duncan. The bronze relief features a so-called foxglove plant. Also, the heads of Hygeia, Goddess of good health and her father Aesculpius, God of medicine are shown. Hygeia has a snake curled around her. The Roman numerals 1479 and 1722 are also featured on the plaque. In that period most witches were persecuted and executed "

"cette fontaine commémore les personnes exécutées pour sorcellerie à Édimbourg aux 16e et 17e siècles. D’après une pancarte accrochée sur les lieux, cela a pu concerner des centaines de gens accusés de sorcellerie, qui furent étranglés puis brûlés au poteau, sur la place où l’on exécutait les criminels, où se trouve aujourd’hui l’esplanade du château d’Édimbourg. La plupart des personnes condamnées étaient des femmes."

"The Witches’ Well, a cast iron fountain and plaque, honors the Scottish people who were burned at the stake between the 15th and 18th centuries. It’s an easy site to miss for people only focusing on the castle that looms ahead. During the 16th century, more women were murdered at this site than anywhere else in Scotland. Each victim was denied a proper trial."
