| I'm off on a bit of a tour of East Lothian tomorrow, mainly to visit some of the witch burning sites and related locations, but does anyone have any suggestions as to what else I should have a look at? | |

| Anything that needs a picture for the website would do in my opinion. Penkaet Castle on the new webbie doent have a picture, if its not too far out of your way, however i cant tell you where it is Hopfully Ian or Dan will see this post and may have a few ideas. | |

| The porch way of the Auld Kirk in North Berwick still stands I believe. It was here that the North Berwick Witches, Dr Fian and the devil would meet up. | |

| To be honest, there isn't much to be seen at the kirk at North Berwick. The porch does indeed still stand, however for safety and preservation, it's chained off.
However, I was told by my drunken associate last night when we planned this, that we may be visiting the location of Fian's home/dwelling. I'm not up on those details, but we'll also be taking a wee trip to Nether Keith, now a farm. A prize for anyone who can tell me who lived there...
Not sure of Penkaet, Lee. Can you enlighten me?
I'll be taking the camera and might even pen a few pieces if there's enough scope. Anything in particular you want images of? Don't think we'll be in North Berwick I'm afraid. | |

| For Penkaet check out the forum thread, Another Haunted Bed, under Hauntings. Fian was school master, but i bet his school has gone now. | |

| Cheers Ian, we'll swing by Penkaet if we can. Will report on the Fian site, whatever it is. | |

| I should upload details of my wee trip but not had time yet, suffice to say that we found a deserted village, saw the dwelling where a witch lived 500 years ago which was in fact a 1960s bungalow, and I was accosted by an old hag! | |
