    I was just in Edinburgh a week ago and got to hear this story from a ghost tour. He added that they tore down the Calvinist meeting house and found a tunnel. Apparently there were alcoves in it that held a whale bone, a child’s skeleton, and one other object. He also said that the prosecutors asked Weir to repent before they executed him but Weir refused, as he didn’t want to anger Satan more than he had. Even though it was filled with young people returning to college and tourists while enjoying rare nice weather, it’s quite creepy at night. Indeed, I’d just been to Glasgow and that city is an urban cesspit downtown, it was nowhere near as creepy.

    If this story is true, it must have been obvious to everyone involved that if they were actually a wizard & a witch with the powers they claimed to have, they would have been able to save themselves.

    Major Thomas Weir was my 14th great relation . I also share this with Lady Di. His father Thomas Weir was also implicated in the death of Lord Darnley husband of Mary Queen of Scots this is why Major Thomas Weir was executed very political. Weir lived in Carluke Scotland at Waygateshaw house…lots of weirs inCarluke Wayne McCallum Brisbane Australia
