Neilston Witchcraft Accusations

Neilston

1649 to 1658

The evidence is thin. It comes from presbytery minutes, a list of names and a local history summary. The two sources disagree on whether the 1650 accused were convicted.

Neilston was a small mill village then, and the accusations run alongside the wave in neighbouring Inverkip.
