About this work
Martyrs' Monument, Greyfriars Kirkyard The Monument commemorates the Covenanters executed after the Restoration in 1660. The Covenant, signed in the kirkyard and then throughout Scotland in 1638, was a protest against Charles I's attempt to impose episcopacy and an Anglican liturgy on the Scottish Kirk, based on a presumed right to dictate church organisation and form of worship by analogy with his position as Head of the Church of England. 1351443
