Biography

Agnes Finnie, widow of James Roberston, sold consumer goods, such as fish and cakes in Potterrow, Edinburgh. She had a reputation for cursing people in her neighbourhood.[1] She was charged with causing harm to several neighbours,[2] including an attack on her neighbour, James Cochrane.[3]

In June 1644, she was arrested on 20 counts of witchcraft and sorcery. She was tried on 20 December 1644 and executed on the Castle Hill of Edinburgh on Thursday, 6 March 1645.[4]

Posthumous petition for pardon

In 2008, Agnes Finnie's name was one of thousands presented for posthumous pardon to the Scottish Parliament.[5]
