On 30 August 1634, legal proceedings were initiated against Jonet Dusone, a resident of the burgh of Culross in Fife. As a coastal settlement and royal burgh, Culross was a site of significant ecclesiastical and judicial activity during the seventeenth century, a period when the Scottish kirk and state maintained a rigorous preoccupation with the detection and prosecution of witchcraft. The records regarding Jonet are preserved under the case reference C/EGD/2577, documenting her appearance within the local judicial framework of the time.
Beyond the date of her entry into the court records, the available archival evidence for Jonet is limited in its descriptive scope. While her name and residence establish her place within the community of Culross during a peak era of witch-hunting in Scotland, the specific nature of the allegations brought against her remains unelaborated in the extant documentation. Her case serves as a singular, recorded point of interaction between a woman of Fife and the formal instruments of early modern law, reflecting the broader administrative patterns of the 1563–1736 period.
