Marioun Twedy

[3] The Presbytery requested a witchcraft commission be approved by the Committee of Estates to investigate the allegations against her in September 1649.

The charm/cure she had advised was she told her neighbour to take the blood "three times withershins about her house then pour it into a hole in the ground".

[1] The Presbytery turned to a local woman, Agnes Stuart, who advised them to seek the services of a witchpricker known to be working in other areas.

[1] George Cathie of Tranent in East Lothian was brought in as the witchpricker to find out through the pricking of her skin with a needle or bodkin if there were areas that would not bleed and thereby showing evidence of 'the devil's mark'.

[3] Twedy's investigation features in the play, Prick, by Laurie Flanigan Hegge and directed by Meggie Greivell which dramatises her story, that of Isobel Gowdie, and other "sundry witches" from the nearly 4000 accused in the Scottish Witch Trials and recorded in the Survey of Scottish Witchcraft.
