taken 13 years ago, near to Edinburgh, Scotland
Marquis of Argyll effigy, St. Giles
"God hath laid engagements upon Scotland. We are tied by covenant to religion and reformation; those that were then unborn are engaged to it, and in our baptism we are engaged to it, and it passes the power of any under Heaven to absolve a man from the oath of God. (...) These times are like to be very sinning times or very suffering times. Let Christians take their choice. Truly he that will choose the better part will choose to suffer. Others that will choose to sin shall not escape suffering. They shall suffer too. Not as I do here, but worse. Mine is temporal. Theirs shall be eternal. When I shall be singing, they shall be howling." -- Argyll before his execution, 1661
