Statements
Pretrial notes: No official permission to hold trial appears to have been granted to the church authorities. (English)
Trial notes: No details of a trial, but she was executed and seems to have been tried without any reference to central authorities. Post trial: According to kirk session records she appears to have been executed, but it is not clear if the church requested permission from Sir Walter Murray to burn or bury her as the writing is quite difficult.
