Dr. William M. Glasgow

** Voluntarily left Scotland

*** Left a testimony – these were prisoners banished and for sale as slaves.

The Testimonies are in the Wodrow
Papers. Some are quoted in a Cloud
of Witnesses ( Rev J H Thomson ed.

1908). They were probably all

held in Dunnottar before deportation via Leith.

Prison codes : where double coded they were first imprisoned locally and then held at Dunnottar Castle from where they were deported via Leith. The Dunnottar

prisoners are in Martyr Graves of Scotland. J H

Thomson, Schedule of Prisoners in Dunnottar from Privy Council Warrants. Prisoners sent from Burntisland 20 May

1685.

CT Cannongate Tolbooth; D Dunnottar Castle; ET Edinburgh Tolbooth; GT Glasgow Tolbooth;

LT Leith Tolbooth.

NOTE: There is no definitive list of prisoners; moreover both pronunciation and spelling of names

was phonetic, and record keeping was poor to abysmal. Another listing of Dunnottar prisoners is given in the “Black Book of Kincardineshire” and in the records of the Edinburgh Tolbooth.
