Marioun Twedy

Marioun Twedy or Marion Tweedy was accused of witchcraft in Peebles in the Scottish Borders in 1649. She was accused of causing the death of a woman and her child and of using charms to cure animals. She refused to confess to these accusations. However, the witchpricker condemned her for finding 'the devil's mark' on her. She was arrested and incarcerated in the prison in Peebles on 17 May 1649.

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