Agnes Muresone was a resident of Elgin whose life became entangled in the judicial machinery of the seventeenth century. Her case, documented under the reference C/EGD/2315, provides a record of her appearance before the authorities on 3 January 1644. While scholars have engaged in some debate regarding the exact chronology of these events—with historical analysis by Gilmore suggesting an earlier date of 1640—the archival documentation formally situates Agnes within the intense period of witch-hunting that gripped Scotland during this era.
The records concerning Agnes suggest a potential continuity with another individual, Agnes Muircone, who appears in earlier records from 1641. This association indicates that the legal scrutiny directed toward Agnes was part of a sustained administrative focus within the Elgin region. Though the brevity of the surviving entry limits our understanding of the specific allegations leveled against her, the presence of her name in these judicial papers marks her place within the broader framework of the Scottish witch trials, reflecting the rigorous, and often repeated, legal processing of individuals during the mid-1600s.
