The case is that of Andrew Hislop.^ Wodrow records the details of it, and his account coincides uneasily with the traditional picture of ' Bluidy Clavers. ' Hislop, according to Wodrow, ^ was but a youth. He lived with his mother, ' a very honest religious woman. ' 1 At Craighaugli, in Eskdaleinuir, Hislop was shot and buried. His epitaph states : — ' Here lyes Andrew Hislop Martyr shot dead upon This place by Sir James Johnston of Westerhall And John Graham of C laverhouse for adheri- ng to th...e word of God Christ's kingly govern- meut in his House and the covenanted work of Reformation against tyran- ny, perjury and prelacy.
