List of Scottish Covenanters – Index
The following pages
are about the Covenanters – the persecuted
`faithful remnant` of the Presbyterian Church. Their story is an integral part of the
larger saga of the Protestant Reformation in Scotland between 1560 – 1690,
when the Church of Scotland ` was by law established`. Within the
articles are cross references and links to related subjects; to pages giving
specific detail; and, explanation of a topic.
For convenience ordained
ministers are shown as Rev, although by custom and practice they used
Mr or Maister [Master] indicating both that they were Presbyterian
ministers and had a university degree. See Sir
priest and other titles.
An extensive bibliography offers a wide range of further reading. Enjoy.
