On 28 November 1649, Catharine Veitch, a resident of Keith Marischall in Haddington, provided a formal confession to authorities. While the surviving legal documentation regarding her case remains sparse, the records indicate that her involvement with the judicial process was not solitary. She is listed alongside one other individual in the contemporary case notes, suggesting that the proceedings against her may have been part of a broader local inquiry during a period of heightened concern regarding witchcraft in the region.
Despite the existence of her recorded confession, further details concerning the specific allegations brought against Catharine or the ultimate outcome of her legal proceedings are absent from the surviving records. The archival entry for her case (C/EGD/2072) and the corresponding trial reference (T/JO/145) provide no evidence of a subsequent trial, leaving the final resolution of her encounter with the Haddingtonshire judicial system unrecorded.
