In May 1662, Jonet Neill Donald Vic William Vic More, a resident of Scatt in the parish of Contin, Ross, became the subject of legal proceedings concerning the crime of witchcraft. The records of the period reflect the judicial machinery of the era, initiating a process that culminated in a formal confession. While the surviving documentation of her trial remains brief, providing no specific narrative of the evidence presented against her, the administrative footprint of the case—catalogued under reference C/EGD/1504—marks her interaction with the seventeenth-century Scottish legal system during a period of heightened scrutiny.
Following her apprehension, Jonet underwent an examination that resulted in a recorded confession on the 7th of May, 1662. This acknowledgment of guilt, extracted within the context of the judicial protocols of the time, remains the final detailed entry regarding her experience. Though the trial notes under reference T/JO/912 contain no further elaboration on the specific charges or the eventual outcome of her case, the documentation stands as a testament to the life of a woman whose circumstances brought her into the solemn purview of the local authorities in the Highlands.
