In the autumn of 1669, the legal records of Inverness mark the emergence of a witchcraft case against More Nain Duy McIvers, a resident of the remote district of Moidart. On September 30, 1669, judicial proceedings were initiated, formally drawing More into the orbit of the Scottish criminal justice system. At this time, the pursuit of those suspected of maleficium remained a feature of the social and legal landscape, and her case file—indexed under C/EGD/1734—serves as the primary extant documentation of her interaction with the authorities.
Following the initial filing, the judicial process moved toward trial under the registration code T/JO/646. While the administrative records confirm the existence of this formal trial, the documentation remains sparse, containing no surviving details regarding the specific testimonies, the nature of the accusations brought against More, or the eventual outcome of the proceedings. Consequently, the narrative of More remains anchored to these skeletal bureaucratic entries, preserving her name in the historical register without clarifying the circumstances that placed her before the court in the late seventeenth century.
