Leonard Low

Leonard Low was born in Upper Largo 1967. He has a passion for the morbid ghastly side of History, especially the Witch killing years....he has amassed a fair library holding the source materials for most of the known Witch trials in Britain, and uses this for research! He lectures on this subject to all who will have him, he has a medieval tower in Pittenweem in which he also lectures on his book THE WEEM WITCH. THE WEEM WITCH being a history of the 26 Witches found in Pittenweem and after 3 reprints is still getting media intrest!
