  APPENDIX D

  The Witch-Hunt in Haddington

  Originally it was envisaged that a significant part of the research would involve a comparison between Haddington and Fife. There are some interesting comparisons. Even based upon the original data from the SBSW it was clear that Fife had many small hunts and cases where single individuals were accused while Haddington witnessed several severe hunts. Unfortunately, it is difficult to say more about this than the fact that based upon the data we currently have these two shires had a significantly different experience during the time of the witch-hunts. This becomes obvious when we consider the chronological pattern of the Haddington witch-hunt (see Graph 3 on p. 235). The geographic distribution is much more difficult to ascertain. One of the difficulties is the fact that Haddington is the name of a parish and a burgh as well as the shire. This makes it difficult to determine whether a reference to ‘Haddington’ refers to the shire, or the parish within the shire. There are approximately 49 cases which fall in this category. There are another 105 cases where a specific location within ‘East Lothian’ is unknown. The difficulties are real. The sheer number of cases makes it difficult to begin a regional study of this part of Scotland. For the moment, the prominence of Gladsmuir should be noted.
