In the summer of 1628, Agnes Hendersoun, a resident of St Ninians near Stirling, found herself at the centre of a formal legal process regarding the charge of witchcraft. Her case, documented under reference C/EGD/1013, moved through the administrative channels of the Scottish judicial system during a period when the prosecution of such offences was becoming increasingly formalised. On 3 July 1628, Agnes was subjected to the investigative rigours of the court, marking a significant intervention by the state in the life of a parishioner within the Stirling area.
Following the initial proceedings, the records indicate that the matter progressed to a formal trial, indexed under reference T/LA/487. While the surviving documentation does not elaborate on the specific testimony provided or the ultimate verdict reached, the archival preservation of these two distinct references confirms that Agnes was processed through the established legal framework governing accusations of maleficium during the reign of Charles I. Her case remains a documented instance of the application of Scots law in the seventeenth-century ecclesiastical and secular courts of St Ninians.
