Witches' Well, Edinburgh
|
| gptkbp:inscription |
This fountain, designed by John Duncan, R.S.A. is near the site on which many witches were burned at the stake. The wicked head and serene head signify that some used their exceptional knowledge for evil purposes, others for good. The serpent has the dual significance of evil and of wisdom. The bronze relief panel represents the sacrifice of the witches.
