In the spring of 1597, Agnes Forbes, a married woman residing in Wester Kincardine, Aberdeen, became the subject of legal scrutiny regarding allegations of witchcraft. Her case, documented under reference C/EGD/2137, reflects the heightened climate of judicial activity concerning sorcery that permeated the region during the late sixteenth century. On the 23rd of April, the formal record of her involvement was established, marking the beginning of a process that would ultimately bring her before the court.
Following the initial documentation of her case, Agnes was subjected to the proceedings of the formal trial process, recorded under T/JO/1504. While the specific charges brought against her in court remain distinct from her demographic profile, the trail of legal documentation confirms her transition from a resident of Wester Kincardine to an individual defendant within the Scottish judicial system. Through these records, her name remains preserved as one of the many lives touched by the extensive witch trials that occurred across Scotland during this period.
