A local hero

Just popped along to the neighbouring town of Tranent to get some steps and a blip in.

The Massacre of Tranent took place in 1797, when local people were killed by soldiers after a protest against conscription into the county militia under the Militia Act of 1797. One of the 12 victims, Jackie Crookston, is depicted on the memorial that commemorates the dead in Tranent's Civic Square.

This town has some history.

I hope you have had a good Sunday.
