Abstract

The article describes the life of Covenanter John Dempster and his grave at the Rhinnes of Kells in Scotland. The Covenanters of southern Scotland were citizens who renounced the rule of Charles II and refused his role as head of the church. The escape of Dempster from the government during the period of brutality called The Killing Time is detailed. Dempster's grave consists of a simple stone marker with a metal plaque set up by the Scottish Covenanter Memorial Association.
