In May 1662, Agnes Nein Donald Oig, a resident of Scatwell in the parish of Contin, Inverness, became the subject of legal proceedings concerning the crime of witchcraft. The records indicate that her case, catalogued under reference C/EGD/1505, moved swiftly through the administrative machinery of the period. By the 7th of May, 1662, she had been formally brought to trial, an event documented in the judicial archives as T/JO/910.
During the course of these proceedings, Agnes provided a confession, which was formally recorded later that same month. While the specific nature of the allegations brought against her and the precise content of her testimony remain absent from the surviving documentation, the existence of the confession was a pivotal element in the legal process of seventeenth-century Scotland. Following these documented steps, the historical record for Agnes concludes, leaving only these skeletal markers of her interaction with the local judiciary during a time of heightened scrutiny regarding the occult.
