Unravel the curious case of Agnes Finnie, a mid-17th century shopkeeper in Edinburgh’s Potterrow accused of witchcraft. Shopkeeper, moneylender, healer – was she helping her neighbours or terrorising the neighbourhood? What finally drove the neighbourhood to denounce Agnes as a witch? Dragged from the Potterrow to court, her trial exposed the fear and squalor of life in the tenements, the indifference of Edinburgh’s gentry and the hypocrisy of the Kirk. Historian Mary Craig tells the true story of Agnes Finnie, warts and all.
