On December 3, 1677, Jannet Craig appeared before the Lord Commissioners to face an examination regarding accusations of witchcraft. Jannet, who resided in Stirling as part of a local group implicated in these proceedings, found herself subject to the formal legal scrutiny of the seventeenth-century Scottish justice system. During this era, such accusations often carried profound social and legal consequences, placing the accused in a precarious position within their community.
Following the examination, the court’s findings were clear: the Lord Commissioners determined that there was no presumption of guilt to support the allegations brought against her. The judicial body officially deemed the charges against Jannet to be malicious in nature. Consequently, she was acquitted of all charges and released, concluding her involvement in the trial.
