In June 1662, an individual identified in the records as Beak Nean Finley Vic Ean Vic Homas was brought before the authorities to face allegations of witchcraft. A resident of Buntoit, located within the parish of Conveth—likely modern-day Kiltarlity and Convinth in Inverness—Beak became caught in the legal machinery of the seventeenth-century Scottish judicial system. While the surviving documentation of the trial proceedings themselves remains sparse, lacking granular detail on the specific nature of the accusations, the administrative records confirm that the process reached a definitive stage.
By the end of that same month, a confession had been formally registered against Beak. This recorded testimony serves as the primary remnant of the legal encounter, marking a significant point in the official prosecution. Though the historical archive provides no further insight into the aftermath of this confession or the eventual outcome for Beak, the documentation stands as a testament to the administrative rigor applied to such cases in the Highlands during this period.
