Walter Milne

Walter Mylneor Milne (or Mill) was the last Protestant martyr to be burned in Scotland before the Reformation changed the country from Catholic to Presbyterian.

Milne was a married man and had at one point been a Roman Catholic priest from the Parish of Lunan near Aberdeen) [http://www.electricscotland.com/webclans/m/milne2.html] .

He was burned for heresy at St Andrews in April 1558 at the age of 82, at the behest of the Roman Catholic Archbishop John Hamilton [http://www.mbcrr.org/website/april.html] . When he was sentenced to die, Milne replied "I will not recant the truth. I am corn, not chaff; I will not be blown away with the wind or burst by the flail. I will survive both."
