Old photograph of people, cottages and vehicles in Moniaive, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. In the 17th century, Moniaive became the refuge for the Covenanters, a group of Presbyterian nonconformists who rebelled at having the Episcopalian religion forced on them by the last three Stuart kings, Charles I, Charles II and James II of England, King James VII of Scotland. There is a monument off the Ayr Road to James Renwick, a Covenanter leader born here who was executed in Edinburgh.
