The claim about witches is tradition, and no case is named in the source, which does not say which court used the pool. The only dated court case Forsyth quotes, from the Books of Regality of Grant, concerns a woman charged with associating with cateran raiders, not witchcraft.
Treat it as a local tradition about the drowning pool, with the caveat that the Survey of Scottish Witchcraft database is the proper place to look for specific trials.
