List of Protestant martyrs of the Scottish Reformation explained

Two people were executed under heresy laws during the reign of James I (1406–1437). Protestants were then executed during persecutions against Protestant religious reformers for their religious denomination during the reigns of James V (1513–1542) and Mary, Queen of Scots (1542–1567). The excesses of this period were recorded in Foxe's Book of Martyrs.
