During late August 2013 over one hundred people, many named Wishart, travelled from all over the world to St. Andrews in Fife, Scotland. They had gathered to mark the 500th anniversary of the birth of George Wishart the early Scottish Reformer, who was, and still is, the most famous individual to carry the surname. A one-day conference was held on Friday 30 August, and six of the top Reformation Historians, all at professorial level, discussed what is regarded as a particularly tumultuous era in Scottish, indeed European, history and identifying George Wishart's role within that. This book contains copies of the papers presented at the conference.
