Many of the hotbeds of Covenanter activity were in Dumfries & Galloway or Ayrshire, but not all.  This week, Matthew Vogan is at Kilravock Castle (pronounced “Kilrawk”) near the village of Croy, between Inverness and Nairn to tell us about some of the Covenanters that we know about from around that area. The best overview of this region at the time is The Covenanters in Moray and Ross by Murdoch MacDonald
