The South Esk Witch: When the Storm breaks (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781738471508)

Read the story of Meggie Cowie, and explore some of the science behind monitoring storms.
In 1677 a flood destroyed the 'Drainers Dyke', a wall engineered to exclude the sea from Montrose Basin. The following year Meggie Cowie was convicted of summoning the storm. She became the last person in Montrose to be burned for her supposed crime of witchcraft.
How do we prevent flooding and damage to homes and livelihoods in future? First we have to understand the processes at play. This book contains a short story about the water cycle and information about flooding and how land use affects floods.

Proceeds from the sale of this book are going to support those affected by the 2023
