Thomas Aikenhead, for denying the Trinity, &e, was executed at the Gallowlee, on the 8th Jenuary, 1697.

John Ogilvie, a Catholic, was tried in 1615, before the Protestant Magistrates of Glasgow, for saying of Mass, &c. He was found guilty, and hanged that same afternoon! Such was the liberality of our Protestant ancestors.

FOR WITCHCRAFT.

Aison Pearson, was strangled and burned in May, 1588. Janet Grant and Janet Clark, were burned in August, 1590. The last person who was brought to the stake in Scotland, was condemmed by Capt. David Ross, Sheriff-depute of Sutherland in 1722. The devil has never been seen in Scotland since.
