In August 1629, Easter Moreis, a resident of Foulden in Berwickshire, found herself drawn into the machinery of the Scottish legal system. Her case, documented under reference C/EGD/683, marks her as one of the many individuals caught within the intense judicial scrutiny that characterized the witch trials of the seventeenth century. The records confirm that following the initial legal proceedings against her, Easter was subjected to a formal trial, recorded under the reference T/LA/103.
The surviving documentation provides the essential administrative framework of her experience, though the specific nature of the allegations brought against her remains contained within these procedural archives. As a woman residing in the parish of Foulden, Easter navigated the transition from an accused individual to a subject of the court during a period when such trials were becoming an increasingly formalised part of the Scottish landscape. Through the preservation of these references, the historical record ensures that the life and experience of Easter remain anchored to the specific legal events of the summer of 1629.
