In November 1633, the legal machinery of the Scottish state focused its attention upon Katherine Wilson, a woman residing in the coastal town of Eyemouth, Berwick. Her case, documented under the classification C/LA/3312, commenced on the 26th of that month, marking the beginning of a formal judicial process that would ultimately draw her into the broader scope of the seventeenth-century Scottish witch trials.
Following the initial proceedings, the records indicate that Katherine was brought to trial under the reference T/LA/2102. Within the context of the era’s legal framework, her case represents a specific intersection of local surveillance and the centralized administration of justice during a period of heightened preoccupation with diabolical activity. The documentation provides a stark outline of her involvement in this systematic pursuit, capturing a singular, recorded moment in her life as it moved through the formal chambers of the Scottish courts.
