In the spring of 1659, the legal records of Haddington documented the commencement of proceedings against Marion Logan. On March 29, 1659, Marion was formally identified as the subject of a witchcraft case, assigned the reference number C/EGD/348. As the machinery of the Scottish judicial system moved to address the charges brought against her, the matter escalated from an initial accusation to a full legal trial.
The subsequent trial, recorded under the designation T/LA/1714, marked the continuation of these proceedings. While the specific nature of the allegations leveled against Marion remain confined to the austere language of the seventeenth-century court registers, the inclusion of her case in these archives highlights the intersection of local community concerns and the rigorous, formal processes of the early modern Scottish courts. Her history remains preserved within these dual legal references, serving as a distinct account of the judicial scrutiny experienced by those caught within the witch-hunting climate of mid-seventeenth-century Scotland.
