On June 26, 1650, Fillie Callwalls, a resident of Pencaitland in Haddington, became caught in the procedural machinery of the Scottish witch trials. Her name appears within the records alongside a group of eight individuals who were brought before authorities during this period of heightened legal scrutiny. While the surviving documentation is brief, it marks a significant moment in the bureaucratic process, as Fillie was formally brought to trial under the reference T/JO/185.
Despite the paucity of surviving narratives regarding her life or the specific nature of the allegations, the records confirm that Fillie submitted to a confession on the very day she was processed. While the specific content of this testimony remains lost to history—leaving the exact charges against her obscured—this confession serves as the defining element of her documented legal journey. Her case remains a quiet but distinct entry in the administrative history of seventeenth-century Haddington, capturing a singular, somber encounter with the judicial systems of the era.
