On September 21, 1642, the legal proceedings against Margaret Wilsone were formally initiated in the coastal town of Dysart, Fife. Recorded under case file C/EGD/2546, the matter concerning Margaret moved from an initial accusation to the judicial sphere of the Scottish courts. The records indicate that her case was subsequently processed through the formal channels of the trial system, designated under reference T/JO/1188.
As a resident of Dysart during this period of heightened concern regarding witchcraft, Margaret became the subject of a legal inquiry that reflected the procedural rigor of mid-seventeenth-century Fife. These documents represent the intersection of local community apprehension and the centralized judicial apparatus of the era. The surviving entries for Margaret provide a brief but essential snapshot of the administrative process, marking her place within the broader historical narrative of the Scottish witch trials.
