In May 1685, two women — the young Margaret Wilson and the elder Margaret MacLachlan — faced execution at the Bladnoch estuary, steadfast in their refusal to renounce their Presbyterian faith. The Wigtown Martyrs tells their story with clarity and compassion, tracing the social, religious, and political forces that shaped their courage.
Drawing on contemporary testimonies, parish records, and Covenanting accounts, this concise volume explores the moral conviction, community networks, and enduring legacy of these remarkable women. Their lives and deaths illuminate the power of conscience, the resilience of faith under persecution, and the lasting impact of moral witness in Scottish history.
