The Wigtown Martyrs
There was a dispute in the 17th century between the Church and the Monarchy. The King, now ruling over both countries forced Episcopalianism on Scotland. The people who refused this imposition, having signed a covenant to do so, became known as covenanters. Over decades, successive kings escalated their campaign against the covenanters with rulings, legislation and sanctions such as fines, banishment and finally executions. Wigtown was the scene of five such executions and those who died in 1685 became known as "The Wigtown Martyrs". Stones were erected beside the Parish Church to commemorate their deaths.
