In the spring of 1590, the legal machinery of the Scottish crown turned its attention toward the coastal burgh of Crail in Fife, marking the beginning of a formal investigation into Euphame Lochoir. Recorded under case file C/EGD/2502, the proceedings against Euphame were initiated on May 28, 1590. Her appearance in the judicial records is brief but significant, placing her within a period of heightened scrutiny regarding allegations of witchcraft that were then sweeping through the region.
Genealogical notes suggest that Euphame shared a connection to Jonnet Loquhour, a figure similarly documented within the historical records (C/JO/2503). This familial or associative link highlights the localized nature of the suspicions that often characterized trials of this era. Following the initial record of her case in May, Euphame was subjected to the formal legal process, culminating in a trial documented under reference T/JO/1686. Through these surviving entries, the skeletal framework of her interaction with the early modern Scottish justice system remains preserved as a testament to the ecclesiastical and secular anxieties of late sixteenth-century Fife.
