Robert Dick (salt-grieve)

[3] While they were carried up the West Bow at Edinburgh, along with William Bell, an unsuccessful attempt was made at a rescue, and all were imprisoned.

[4][5] He refused to give his oath at his trial on 12 October and was sent to the Bass Rock on the Firth of Forth in Haddingtonshire along with William Bell.

[6][7][8] In October, 1676, he was charged, before the Privy Council, for "convocating disorderly and seditious meetings" at Pentland Hills and divers other places.

44)[5] The list of conventicles and charges included: "the Pentland Hills, Caldermuir, Drumshoirling Muir, Kirklistoune (Kirkliston), Borthwick, Edmonstoune Chaple, Woolmett, Corstorphin, Torwood, Gledsmuir, Dumbarr, Whythill, Eistbarnes, Broxburne, Newtounlees, and several other places, or at one or other of them or near thereto, and not only heard outed ministers preach but took upon them to convocate people from Edinburgh and elsewhere to the said meetings."

"[10] Dick, however, still refused to incriminate himself; and, for his contumacy he was banished to the plantations of the West, where probably he ended his days in slavery.
