In May 1678 a conventicle of 1000 people assembled on Whitekirk Hill, and were attacked by the garrison from the Bass. In 1826 two Covenanters' graves were still marked on the hill. 'They were indicated by heaps of stones, since removed to build field dykes. The site of the martyrs' graves is now unknown.'
