Crook of Devon is a village in Perthshire about 6 miles southwest of Kinross on the A977.

It was famous in the 17th century for its witch burnings. Down the road at the side of the Institute (Village Hall) on the right side is a field called Lamblaires and in the northwest corner is the place where the witches were strangled and then burned at the stake.[1]
