In 1685 Margaret Wilson and Margaret McLachlan were drowned and three men (George Walker, William Johnstone, and John Milroy) hanged without proper trial, because they would not sign an oath stating that the King was head of the church, and would not attend church services conducted by Episcopalian curates.</div>
