ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on those members of the more extreme Covenanters, known as Cameronians, an emotional and spiritual congregation specifically associated with field conventicles and martyrdom, and named after the field preacher Richard Cameron who was killed at Ardsmoss. The radical Covenanters have been the subject of intense interest from scholars, and in intervening centuries they have engendered emotional responses through the rhetoric used to describe their history in literary and historical terms. The chapter analyses the inscription texts purposefully created for the monuments to male and female martyrs. The lens of emotional practice informs the author's methodology and is applied to both the archives and material cultural evidence within the Scottish landscape. The chapter considers how historians have, through their historical writing, explains the experience of the individual over emotional communities with respect to the violent episodes in Scottish history.
