** 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.
