The Scottish Witchcraft Trials: A Biographical Dictionary of the Accused, the Kirk Inquisitors, and the Judges (1563–1736) — Digital PDF Edition

Between the passage of the Scottish Witchcraft Act on 4 June 1563 and its statutory repeal on 24 June 1736, the ecclesiastical courts and royal commissions of Scotland prosecuted nearly four thousand individuals for sorcery, charming, folk healing, and demonic conspiracy. Because Scottish married women retained their birth (maiden) surnames throughout life in both High Court of Justiciary books of adjournal and parish kirk session minutes, these trial dossiers preserve extraordinary multi-generational family networks, maiden and marital identities, farmstead tenancies, and burgh trades that predate surviving Old Parish Registers.
