Trial Notes
No details of a trial, but she was executed and seems to have been tried without any reference to central authorities.
Post-Trial Notes
According to kirk session records she appears to have been executed, but it is not clear if the church requested permission from Sir Walter Murray to burn or bury her as the writing is quite difficult.
