Witches' Stone is an historic stone in the Scottish parish of St Martins, Perth and Kinross. It marks the location where Macbeth meets with two witches in William Shakespeare's tragedy.[1] [2] It is first mentioned in text in 1806, when William Mackenzie, father of architect William Macdonald Mackenzie, was the landowner.[3]
The stone, which first appeared on Ordnance Survey maps in 1866, stands around 4feet high and has a groove on its top, believed to be the result of a chain being used on it.
