From 1638 to 1688, Scotland experienced great distress because many refused to accept the royal decree that the King was the head of the church. Those who covenanted together under the assumption that only Christ could command such a position suffered horrendous persecution. In this fascinating account, Dane Love recounts fifty tales of martyrdom, giving insight into the grim period of religious persecution in Scotland. Love is the honorary secretary of the Scottish Covenanter Memorials Association, and provides the National Grid Reference of monuments, gravestones, and important places associated with the Covenanters in the footnotes.
