In the spring of 1662, the judicial machinery of seventeenth-century Scotland turned its attention toward Agnes Ramsay, a resident of Clathimore in the parish of Findo Gask, Perthshire. On the 7th of May, Agnes was formally processed under case file C/EGD/1514, marking the beginning of a legal ordeal that would place her squarely within the heightened atmosphere of the post-Restoration witch hunts. At this time, local authorities and kirk sessions were increasingly vigilant in their pursuit of those suspected of diabolical pacts or harmful sorcery, and Agnes found herself caught in this systemic scrutiny.
The subsequent trial, recorded under reference T/JO/938, represents the final archival trace of her experience. While the surviving documentation is sparse, failing to provide specific testimony, the nature of the proceedings—conducted during a period of intense religious and civil anxiety in Scotland—underscores the gravity with which the court viewed such accusations. No further details regarding the outcome or the specific evidence brought against Agnes remain in the historical record, leaving her experience as a silent but significant entry in the ledger of early modern Scottish jurisprudence.
