Wishart, George (
c.1513–46). One of the first Scottish protestant martyrs. Wishart came from Pittarrow near Montrose. After visiting Germany and Switzerland, he became a fellow of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, before returning to Scotland in 1543. There he commenced itinerant preaching with John
Knox as a disciple. He was arrested in 1546, taken to Cardinal
Beaton's castle at St Andrews, and tried for heresy. Two months after Wishart was burned, Beaton himself was murdered in the castle by Wishart's friends.
