Kinross-shire Stories
On
the left
are links to three stories which are geographically rooted in Kinross-shire.
The first is the story of the dreadful persecution of witches in the
seventeenth century, focussing on the trials in the Crook of Devon.
The second story takes us to John Knox’s pulpit in Glenvale and the tale of the Covenanters and their courageous fight to be allowed to worship God the way they had done for centuries.
The final story is one of hope and healing centred around the well in Scotlandwell, with pilgrims visiting from as early as Roman times.
Children from local schools worked on the three stories produced for them by volunteers at Kinross Museum and the children produced their own re-interpretations of the stories in a variety of ways.
These were displayed in the musuem and can now be seen from links on each page.
