Lilias’ story would be lost amongst the hundreds of similar cases in 17th/18th century Scotland if it were not for the fact that she was buried in the inter-tidal zone under a big slab of sandstone. She was buried on the foreshore to prevent Satan from re-animating her dead corpse. The minister was keen to prevent her from climbing out of her grave and terrorising him and the local community who condemned her to death. This is Scotland’s only known revenant (‘to return’) grave.
