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 1661–62.[1] The Privy Council granted a Commission of Justiciary for a local trial to be held and four of the women[2] – believed by historians to be Margaret McLevin, Margaret McWilliam, Janet Morrison[a] and Isobell McNicoll[4] – were executed in 1662;[2] a fifth may have died while incarcerated.[5] 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.
