On this day in 1697, seven people were executed at Gallow Green in Paisley for the supposed crime of witchcraft, the last mass ex*****on of its kind in Western Europe.

They were hanged, but not until death. While still breathing, they were cast into the flames.

Later, a horseshoe was buried at Maxwellton Cross, not in remembrance, but to stop their spirits from returning.

But they were never witches.
They were victims of fear, suspicion, and a system that failed them.

It’s important we get this right or we risk forgetting the truth.

Those executed were:

Katherine Campbell

Agnes Naismith

Margaret Fulton

Margaret Lang

John Lindsay in Barloch

John Lindsay, known as “Bishop”

James Lindsay, known as “Curate”

John Reid was also accused, but died by su***de in Renfrew Tolbooth before he could be tried.

Today, we remember their names not as myth, but as people, ordinary lives caught in a storm of panic, prejudice, and cruelty.

A bronze horseshoe now marks the spot at Maxwellton Cross.
If you pass by today, stop for a moment. Stand still. Say their names.

📍 Maxwellton Cross, Paisley

📜✨ On 31st October 1745, Bonnie Prince Charlie led his Jacobite army out of Edinburgh, embarking on a daring march south towards England.

Fueled by loyalty to the Stuart cause and the hope of reclaiming the British throne, this pivotal moment marked the Jacobites' bold advance during the '45 Rising. Imagine the sight of Highlanders in full battle attire, bagpipes echoing as they marched from the heart of Scotland, fueled by passion and defiance. 🔥🏴

Today, we look back on this historic journey with awe.

HMS Cardiff being taken down the river Clyde and under the Erskine Bridge

Not strictly in Ayrshire but excellently captured by Ayrshire videographer Kai Brown

Lots of Ayrshire people work for different divisions of BAe and according to the company “HMS Cardiff has now departed BAE Systems’ Govan shipyard on the barge to be towed down river to a deep-water location in the West of Scotland. Once in position, and over a number of hours, the barge will submerge and the anti-submarine warfare frigate will enter the water. She will then return to BAE Systems’ Scotstoun shipyard where she will undergo the next stages of outfit before test and commissioning”

It is believed that she will be floated off the barge in Loch Long

We need your support in the battle over Bannockburn! We have to preserve this historic location, which is under threat from proposed developments that will destroy one of the last remaining areas of open landscape on which this significant battle took place in 1314.

PLEASE urge Scottish Ministers to call in Stirling Council’s decision as a matter of urgency. Here's how: https://www.nts.org.uk/stories/were-in-a-battle-about-bannockburn-and-we-need-your-support
