Geillis Duncan also spelled Gillis Duncan (b. unknown d. 4 December 1591) was a young maidservant in 16th century Scotland who was accused of being a witch. She was also the first recorded British named player of the mouth harp. The anonymous pamphlet, Newes from Scotland, published in late 1591 details how she was made to confess to witchcraft and records how the North Berwick witch trials originated, in which as many as seventy people were implicated.
