ABSTRACT
This study has hitherto focused on the self-proclaimed godly in early modern Scotland, those who took Satan, and the attending Reformed preoccupations with sin and self, quite seriously. But what of the ordinary, uneducated Scots who left behind few traces of their ideas and experiences? These were the men and women who filled the pews of the churches, frequented the alehouses, farmed the fields, shopped the streets, took their troubles to court and left to posterity few accounts of their lives. What did they believe about the Devil?
