The judicial record for Ann Nin William, documented under case reference C/EGD/1918, places her within the complex legal landscape of the Scottish witch trials in the year 1680. While the surviving documentation is sparse, her inclusion in the criminal registers of the period highlights the reach of the Scottish courts during the late seventeenth century, a time when the prosecution of alleged maleficium remained a persistent feature of communal and judicial life.
Ann remains a figure defined by the formal constraints of the legal process. Beyond the basic administrative recording of her name and gender, the archival notes indicate that her case was referenced by the historian Christina Larner in her foundational research on the subject. Although the specific allegations brought against Ann—and the eventual outcome of her legal proceedings—remain obscured by the limitations of the existing source material, her record serves as a brief but significant point of entry into the study of the judicial mechanisms that governed early modern Scotland.
