Witch's Grave

I'm pretty certain that the rectangular stone slab in the forefront of this picture is the stone referred to in this BBC story

If it is, then it's the only known grave of a 'witch', of its type, in Scotland. 
Of course, she wasn't a witch; just a poor old lady who was different and an easy scapegoat for all sorts of things in those troubled times of the 17th and 18th centuries. There's talk of a memorial going up in that area, a monument to the terrible slaughter of innocent women that went on across the country 300 or so years ago.
