Biographical Summary

"William Wishart, born 1660, son of William W., min. of Kinneil ; educated privately and at the Univs. of Edinburgh and Utrecht ; M.A. (Edinburgh 1680). Returning from Holland, he was charged with denying the King's authority, and put into prison, 1684. Released the following year, he was called to be min. of the Meeting-house, near the Sheriff Brae of Leith (in which his father had ministered), and was ord. 12th Jan. 1688. In 1692 he removed to the Parish Church of South Leith, a step which met with much opposition from the Episcopal section of the community, who tried by force to prevent him and his friends from gaining possession of the church (vide South Leith). He was Moderator of Assembly 4th April 1706, and on 12th Oct. 1707 was adm. to this charge.
