Culross Palace (the yellow building)- apotropaic marks in the wood above fireplace to prevent witches entering the building that way. The attic of the Town House was used to imprison suspected witches, sadly a number of women were found guilty of witchcraft here and executed. pic.twitter.com/D9gNZcAddB
