Two Covenanters, James Nicol and William Young, Hanged in Edinburgh #History #Scotland
A fragment of information on the execution of James Nicol and William Young at the Grassmarket, Edinburgh, is found in the records of Edinburgh Tolbooth under ‘27th September 1684’:
‘James Nicoll & W[illia]m Young execut in ye grasmercat for rebelious & treasonable prinlls’ (Book of the Old Edinburgh Club, IX, 158.)
Nicol and Young were in fact executed a month earlier on 27 August.
Is there any more data relative to the James Nicol who was executed? Any family”
