On 30 July 1683 the brothers William and George Fullertoun of Fullarton, near Troon, were imprisoned for possible involvement at the Battle of Bothwell Bridge, which took place between the Covenanters and the government troops on 22 June 1679. The trial was at Edinburgh on 2 April 1684 for ‘treasonable harbouring, recepting, conversing with and doing favours to rebels’. The prosecution did not appear to have enough evidence, and the accused were free to go. At Fullarton an old datestone of 1673 commemorates William Fullarton. See more about the Covenanters in the Troon and Dreghorn area in The Parish of Dreghorn by Karon Bell. www.carnpublishing.com/dreghorn
