Wall fountain in memory of over 300 women burned at the stake

Inscription: 

THIS FOUNTAIN, DESIGNED BY JOHN DUNCAN, R.S.A.
IS NEAR THE SITE ON WHICH MANY WITCHES WERE
BURNED AT THE STAKE. THE WICKED HEAD AND SERENE
HEAD SIGNIFY THAT SOME USED THEIR EXCEPTIONAL
KNOWLEDGE FOR EVIL PURPOSES WHILE OTHERS WERE MISUNDERSTOOD AND WISHED THEIR KIND NOTHING
BUT GOOD. THE SERPENT HAS THE DUAL SIGNIFICANCE
OF EVIL AND WISDOM. THE FOXGLOVE SPRAY FURTHER
EMPHASISES THE DUAL PURPOSE OF MANY COMMON OBJECTS.

Designed by: 
John Duncan RSA
Date: 
1894
Material: 
bronze and cast iron
Location:
On the wall west wall of the former Castehill Reservoir, facing Edinburgh Castle Esplanade

Additional information: 

The fountain on the west wall of the former Castlehill Reservoir (which served the castle with water from Comiston Springs), facing Edinburgh Castle Esplanade, commemorates these women and was designed by John Duncan, R.S.A. It is near the site on which many of these women were burned at the stake.

This plaque accompanies the fountain and explains the symbolism on the fountain. The two heads, one apparently evil, the other calm signify that some used their knowledge and alleged powers for evil purposes while others used their talents for good. This duality is emphasized by the inclusion of a serpent and the foxglove plant (a name for which is witches' gloves) which have positive and negative connotations in relation to having the potential to heal and poison, for good and evil.
