A particular area of disagreement concerned whether Seceders could take an oath to support the religion ‘presently professed in the country’. This oath was required of public officials, and in some Scottish burghs was demanded of all burgesses (essentially urban residents holding property over a certain value). Those congregations which accepted the oath became known as Burghers and those who rejected it were called Anti-Burghers. 1747 egsr@st-andrews.ac.uk Event 153 08/03/2021 10:10:38 am 1747 Bess Rhodes 323 Sacred Landscapes of Fife TEXT
