The legal proceedings against Marie nian innes vic Coull appear in the judicial records of late seventeenth-century Scotland under the case reference C/EGD/574. Identified in the registers as originating from the "hielands and Isles," Marie represents a distinct demographic within the broader context of the Scottish witch trials. Her case, documented on 14 December 1669, situates her within the administrative and legal framework of a period when the prosecution of alleged maleficium and diabolical pacts was pursued with formal intensity by local authorities.
The trial itself, recorded under T/LA/1433, marks the movement of Marie’s case into the formal court system. While the surviving documentation is sparse, the record serves as a testament to the structured process of accusation and judicial inquiry that characterized the era. Marie remains a figure defined by these terse archival entries, which preserve the date and designation of her trial, ensuring her place in the historical narrative of the 1563–1736 period of Scottish witch-hunting.
