david_castleton, Grannie Kempoch Stone faces the sea in Gourock, Scotland. This megalith was seen as a source of good luck to sailors - they would walk around the stone seven times with a basket of sand 'chanting a weird song' if they were going on a long voyage. In 1662, a group of local women suspected of witchcraft were executed - they'd allegedly danced round the stone on the Sabbath with the intention of sinking a ship passing through the Clyde. #Folklore #history #weird #gothic
