In May 1662, Kathrin Scott, a resident of Inverkip in Renfrew, became the subject of formal legal proceedings regarding allegations of witchcraft. The records of the Justiciary Court (Case C/EGD/1495) document that her case was processed during a period of intense judicial scrutiny regarding supernatural offences in the region. Following the initial record of her case on the 7th of May, Kathrin was subjected to interrogation, which resulted in a formal confession documented later that same month.
While the specific details of the trial (T/JO/920) remain absent from the surviving archival records, the existence of a recorded confession suggests that Kathrin admitted to the charges brought against her under the prevailing legal and ecclesiastical framework of the time. The transition from her initial citation in early May to the finalisation of her confession within the same month marks the definitive conclusion of the extant documentation concerning her involvement in the 1662 witch trials of Inverkip.
