In 1655, the legal records of the Scottish circuit court formally identified Bessie Andro, a resident of Wick in Caithness, as a subject of judicial scrutiny regarding the crime of witchcraft. Her name appears within the administrative documentation of the time as part of a fugitive list, a status which indicates that she had evaded the immediate reach of the court rather than appearing to answer the accusations laid against her.
Beyond this inclusion on the fugitive list, categorized under reference C/EGD/765 and T/LA/1924, historical evidence concerning Bessie remains limited. While scholars such as Larner et al. have noted her case in the context of broader records of the era, the legal proceedings lack a record of a verdict or sentencing. Consequently, the ultimate trajectory of Bessie's life following her flight from the court remains unknown, leaving her case as an unresolved entry in the extensive history of the Scottish witch trials.
