The last person to be executed for witchcraft in Britain was Janet Horne. She was burned in Dornoch, Scotland, in 1727. Her daughter had some abnormalities in her hands and feet. Neighbours said they looked like hooves. They claimed Janet turned her daughter into a pony and used her for transport when she was going to a meeting of witches. However, the girl had not completely transformed back into a human being. Janet herself was probably mentally ill, as she did not seem to have understood what was going on.
