Set in the atmospheric backdrop of The Lost Close, this 90 minute experience looks at the true history of the Scottish Witch Trials and the lives of four real women who were accused, condemned, and executed for the crime of witchcraft.
Through carefully researched storytelling rooted in historical fact, expert guides move beyond the myths and folklore that often surround witchcraft today, revealing the human stories at the heart of one of Scotland’s darkest periods.
As the stories unfold, you’ll enjoy four specially selected drams of Scotch whisky, each chosen from a different Scottish whisky region. These whiskies have been carefully paired to reflect the character, spirit, and story of each woman, creating a sensory journey that deepens your connection to the past.
Explore the lives of those who dared to be different in an age when difference could be a crime. Find out more about Scotland’s hidden past, and raise a glass to the memory of those who paid the ultimate price.
Places are limited, and open to those aged 18+years old. Please note, The Lost Close is underground, has stairs at the entrance, and has low ceilings and uneven flooring throughout.
From the Ashes: The Untold Stories of Scotland’s Condemned Women runs on Fridays and Saturdays between 20 and 28 November 2026. Advance booking is required.
