In the summer of 1622, the small Fife coastal settlement of Aberdour became the setting for the judicial proceedings brought against Agnes Robertsone. Her case, documented under reference C/EGD/913, moved through the machinery of the Scottish legal system with notable speed. By the 28th of August, Agnes stood before the authorities to answer for allegations of witchcraft, an accusation that carried profound gravity within the social and religious framework of early seventeenth-century Scotland.
Following her apprehension, the legal process against Agnes culminated in the creation of a formal confession record. This document, central to the trial proceedings indexed as T/LA/355, encapsulated her testimony regarding the charges leveled against her. While the specific content of her statements remains preserved within the archival record, the existence of this confession marks the decisive point in her journey through the courts of Fife, reflecting the typical investigative procedures utilized during the peak decades of the Scottish witch trials.
