In early modern Scotland, inbetween the early 16th century and the mid-18th century, judicial proceedings concerned with the crimes of witchcraft (Scottish Gaelic: buidseachd) took place as part of a series of witch trials in Early Modern Europe. In the late middle age there were a handful of prosecutions for harm done through witchcraft, but the passing of the Witchcraft Act 1563 made witchcraft, or consulting with witches, capital crimes. The first major issue of trials under the new act were the North Berwick witch trials, beginning in 1590, in which King James VI played a major part as "victim" and investigator. He became interested in witchcraft and published a defence of witch-hunting in the Daemonologie in 1597, but he appears to have become increasingly sceptical and eventually too

rdfs:comment	Les procès de sorcellerie en Écosse à l'époque moderne débutent avec le procès des sorcières de North Berwick, en 1589, en accord avec le Witchcraft Act voté par le Parlement d'Écosse en 1563. Avant cette date, quelques procès en sorcellerie sont attestés, mais ils restent rares. Le roi Jacques VI porte un intérêt tout particulier à la question et compose un traité à ce sujet, Daemonologie, en 1597. Bien que son soutien aux chasses aux sorcières diminue par la suite, plusieurs grandes séries de procès se déroulent durant le reste de son règne et jusqu'au milieu du XVIIe siècle. Un certain scepticisme commence à prévaloir après la Restauration, tandis que certaines causes profondes des chasses aux sorcières (comme la mauvaise situation économique) disparaissent.
