Tour Scotland photograph of George Wishart in the Kate Kennedy Procession in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. George Wishart, 1513 to 1st March 1546, was a Scottish religious reformer and Protestant martyr. His career as an itinerant preacher began in 1544, from when he traveled Scotland from east to west. At Ormiston in East Lothian, in January 1546, he was seized by the Earl of Bothwell on the orders of Cardinal Beaton, taken to Elphinstone Castle, and transferred by order of the privy council to Edinburgh castle on 19 January 1546. Thence he was handed over to Beaton, who had a "show trial", with John Lauder prosecuting Wishart. Execution by burning at the stake followed at St Andrews on 1st March 1546. The Martyrs Memorial at St Andrews was erected to the honour of George Wishart, Patrick Hamilton, and other martyrs of the Reformation era.. The St Andrews University Student portraying George Wishart today was Jeffrey Macdonald.
