Description: Duddingston Parish Church Jougs A Scottish Act of Parliament issued in 1593 pronounced that prisons, stocks and jougs (irons) were to be provided at every Parish Kirk, so that idle beggers and wrongdoers could be placed in penitence, and so that those attending Sunday services could see them in their place of shame. The jougs by which people were clamped to the kirkyard wall by the neck are still in place at Duddingston Village on the outskirts of Edinburgh.
