In 1679, Eupham Wright was brought before the authorities in the parish of Airth, located in the county of Stirling. Her case, documented under reference C/LA/3084, marks her involvement in a period where the Scottish legal system was heavily preoccupied with the investigation of maleficium and diabolical pacts. As an inhabitant of Airth, Eupham became the subject of judicial scrutiny during a time when local communities were frequently gripped by anxieties regarding supernatural influence and the breakdown of social order.
The subsequent proceedings against her are formally recorded under trial reference T/LA/1478. While the extant records are brief in their surviving details, they document the formal transition of Eupham from a private citizen of Airth into the sphere of the high courts. This legal trajectory reflects the standard administrative processes of the late seventeenth century, where the accusations leveled against individuals like Eupham necessitated a structured response from both local kirk sessions and the central justiciary, standardizing the gravity of the charges brought against her in the name of the state.
