“ There was another George Wishart, bailie of Dundee, who allied himself with Beaton’s murderers; and Sir John Wishart (d. 1576) , afterwards a Scottish judge, has also claims to the doubtful distinction. Sir John was certainly a friend of Creighton, laird of Branston, who was deeply implicated in the plot, but Creighton also befriended the reformer during his evangelical labours in Midlothian. The case against the reformer is not proven and is not probable. ”
