The good people of Dowally had obviously missed the point of the incident in the New Testament when a woman accused of adultery was brought before Jesus to be stoned and he said "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone".

Maiden Stone,
Yes  Biblical times were written by seers, men who dreamed of matters that the good lord said, supposedly......but alas they and he were not there in Dowally, Perthshire to keep the good citizens right; but flesh and blood individuals trying to follow a scripture thousands of years later.

Read some of the punishments directed by Ministers, Priests etc. in these near days you may get a surprise that Our Lord was obviously absent...............
