Witchcraft

Maud Galt of Kilbarchan

Kilbarchan

September 1649

The case is unusual because it is one of very few Scottish records that touch on a sexual relationship between women, and witchcraft was the label used to make it a matter for the courts. Nothing further is known of the outcome.

The entry is included because the accusation was recorded as witchcraft, even though no trial followed.
