In 1662, Agnes Sharp resided in the parish of Fossoway and Tullibole, within the area known as the Crook of Devon in Perthshire. This region, situated in the heart of Scotland, became a focal point for intense judicial scrutiny regarding allegations of maleficium during the mid-seventeenth century. Agnes was drawn into this legal framework as the subject of a specific witchcraft case, recorded in the historical archives as C/EGD/1708.
While the primary documentation for the proceedings against Agnes remains limited, her inclusion in the judicial records reflects the broader social and legal pressures exerted upon individuals in rural Scottish communities during this era. The records identify her specifically within the context of the Crook of Devon, a location that features prominently in the history of the 1563–1736 witch trials. Although historical research has yet to synthesize the full particulars of her case, the entry confirms that Agnes was formally processed through the seventeenth-century Scottish legal system as a result of accusations directed against her.
