On the 2nd of March 1606, official records marked the commencement of a legal case against Kathern Flint, a resident of Edinburgh. The proceedings, cataloged under reference C/EGD/2192, represent a specific moment in the broader history of the Scottish witch trials, occurring during the period when legal prosecution for witchcraft remained a significant element of the social and judicial landscape in the capital. While the precise nature of the accusations brought against her—or the eventual outcome of the trial—are not elucidated in these administrative notes, the entry confirms her formal involvement in the court system of the early seventeenth century.
The documentation of Kathern exists within the wider scholarly effort to catalogue the thousands of individuals entangled in the witch-hunting era of 1563–1736. As noted in the historical findings, the entry regarding Kathern serves as a testament to the meticulous, though sometimes fragmented, nature of surviving court records. Her case remains part of the historical corpus used by researchers to analyze the patterns of accusation and the bureaucratic reach of the Scottish courts during this volatile era.
