'Allyson Shaw has built a monument in words to the thousands
persecuted as witches in Scotland. A fascinating and necessary
book.' Peter Ross 'It's summer. I stand where perhaps Ellen stood,
in this ground thick with new thistle and long grass. She would
have ken this coast in all weathers: in the summer when it was as
gentle as a lake and in the winter, with the high winds and
stinging salt spray.' A moving and personal journey, along rugged
coasts and through remote villages and cities, in search of the
traces of those accused of witchcraft in seventeenth-century
Scotland. In Ashes and Stones we visit modern memorials and
standing stones, and roam among forests and hedge mazes, folklore
and political fantasies. From fairy hills to forgotten caves, we
explore a spellbound landscape. Allyson Shaw untangles the myth of
witchcraft and gives voice to those erased by it. Her elegant and
lucid prose weaves together threads of history and feminist
reclamation to create a vibrant memorial. This is the untold story
of the witches' monuments of Scotland and the women's lives they
mark. Ashes and Stones is a trove of folklore linking the lives of
contemporary women to the horrors of the past, a record of
resilience and a call to choose and remember our ancestors. 'A
compelling and intimate pilgrimage across Scotland' Helen Callaghan
