George and Lachlan Rattray (circa 1704) were accused of witchcraft in Inverness. They were apprehended in 1704, allegedly guilty of "the horrid crimes of mischievous charms, by witchcraft and malefice, sorcery or necromany".[1] They were tried locally under a commission from the Lords of the Privy Council, and sentenced to execution in the January of 1706.[2]

However their execution was reprieved by the Privy Council until November 1706 , which was then reprieved once again until the last Friday in January 1707. This was then changed to banishment on the 28/12/1706.[3]
