Martyrs Monument on the Scores, commemorating the men executed on the Scores for their Protestant beliefs. Patrick Hamilton promoted the doctrines of Martin Luther, Henry Forrest owned a copy of the New Testament in English, Walter Myln advocated married clergy and George Wishart, burnt at the stake for defying the Catholic Church.
