"The Bute witches were six Scottish women accused of witchcraft and interrogated in the parish of Rothesay on Bute during the Great Scottish Witch Hunt of 1661\u201362. The Privy Council granted a Commission of Justiciary for a local trial to be held and four of the women \u2013 believed by historians to be Margaret McLevin, Margaret McWilliam, Janet Morrison and Isobell McNicoll \u2013 were executed in 1662; a fifth may have died while incarcerated. One woman, Jonet NcNicoll, escaped from prison before she could be executed but when she returned to the island in 1673 the sentence was implemented."@en . . . . . . . .
