In April 1568, an individual identified in the legal records only by the name Lyvelyke was brought before the authorities in Kinlock, within the parish of Coupar, Perth. The archival documentation for this case—indexed as C/LA/3399—is notably sparse, leaving the person's gender unrecorded and the specific circumstances of their apprehension obscured by the passage of time. During this period, the legal machinery for addressing accusations of sorcery was beginning to formalize under the Witchcraft Act of 1563, and the arrival of such a case in Kinlock reflects the localized judicial scrutiny that characterized the era.
Following the initial registration of the case, Lyvelyke was subjected to the formal judicial process, appearing in trial proceedings cataloged under reference T/LA/2267. Despite the survival of these official citations within the Scottish legal archives, no further details regarding the nature of the accusations, the testimony provided, or the final verdict rendered by the court remain. Lyvelyke exists in the historical record as a brief but formal entry, representing the intersection of early modern community suspicion and the burgeoning administrative efforts to investigate supernatural transgression.
