Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Ayr's Malt Cross - Where Witches Were Burned. The pub in this photo takes its name from the old Malt Cross of Ayr which formerly stood at the junction of High Street and the Sandgate. The exact location is marked by cobbled stones in the tarmac in the foreground of this photo. This was the place where the witch, Maggie Osborne, was burnt to death in 1629 - see 998317 The Malt Cross was removed in 1778 as it was obstructing the flow of traffic. (Source: "Ayrshire: Discovering A County", by Dane Love.) An incident involving William Wallace is noted in 1276107. |
