Both men fought with the Young Pretender during the '45 and were captured at Culloden. Lord Balmerino should possibly have known better having been pardoned for joining the 1715 uprising with the Old Pretender.

Demonstration in Place des Nations at the conclusion of the 4th World Congress against the Death Penalty, Geneva, 26 February 2010
These gentlemen become the 145 and 146 persons freed from the death rows of various states. I recently heard a lawmaker defend the death penalty because he contends it is based on biblical principles, so I had to raise the question. Is it really?

The Warsaw Citadel is a fortress that was built in the 19th century when most of Poland was under Russian occupation. It was commissioned by Tsar Nicholas I after the suppression of the 1830 November Uprising, in order to bolster Russian control of Warsaw. As well as housing a Russian garrison it also served as a prison and place of execution.

Lier is a Belgian city located in the province of Antwerp. The city is said to have been founded in the 11th century. In 1212, the Duke of Brabant Henri I granted an urban charter to the inhabitants. The fourteenth century was a period of prosperity for the city: construction of a cloth hall in 1367, a belfry in 1369 and a second rampart in 1389. The prosperity of the city was based on the drapery industry and on the existence of a cattle market, which had been granted to it by the Dukes of Brabant.
Grote Markt
Since the Middle Ages the Grand Place is the beating heart of Lier, which received civic rights in 1212. It has been the backdrop to small and big events for centuries, the weekly market, processions, parades, shows and high visits.
The triangular shape would indicate its Frankish origin.
In 1914, three quarters of the houses were destroyed. As if by miracle the Town Hall and the Belfry were only slightly damaged. After WWI some buildings were rebuilt in their original form, others in various neo-styles.
A large round “witch stone” (heksensteen) marks the spot where, according to a popular narrative, the last witch was burned at the stake in Lier. Until 1842 executions were carried out here.

By kind permission of the Royal Parks Department, the King’s Army Annual March and Parade will again follow the route taken by Charles I from St James Palace on the Mall to the place of his untimely death at the Banqueting House in Whitehall, London. This event is an established part of the London calendar and has followed a similar format now for forty years. The parade assembles from 11am outside St James Palace on The Mall and marches to form up on Horse Guards Parade, a considerable privilege for an organisation such as ourselves, from where a wreath is carried across Whitehall and placed at the execution site. A short service follows and awards and commissions are conferred on deserving members of the King’s Army.

The town became prominent in the 12th century, with the establishment of important Paisley Abbey.
The Bargarran witches were tried in Paisley in 1697. Seven were convicted and five were hanged and then burnt. This was the last mass execution for witchcraft in western Europe.
Paisley expanded significantly during the Industrial Revolution as a result of its location with access to the Clyde and nearby ore, mineral and agricultural resources. Factories and mills developed leading to an increase in the town's population.
By the late 19th century, Paisley was a global centre of the weaving industry, giving its name to the Paisley shawl and the Paisley pattern. Despite being of a Kashmiri design, the teardrop-like pattern soon became known by Paisley's name across the western world.
There had been a Celtic church on the site of the monastery since the 6th century, dating back to St Mirin. After his death a shrine to the Saint was established, becoming a popular site of pilgrimage and veneration.
In 1163, Walter FitzAlan invited 13 Cluniac monks from Much Wenlock Priory in Shropshire to found a monastery on this site. From 1219, the establishment was run as an abbey and became In 1307, Edward I of England had the abbey burned down. It was rebuilt later in the 14th century.
Walter Stewart, 6th High Steward of Scotland married Marjorie Bruce, daughter of Robert I, in 1315, who died the following year in a riding accident near the abbey. However, her unborn child was saved and later crowned King of Scotland as Robert II. As he founded the ruling dynasty of the House of Stuart, the abbey is also regarded as their birthplace. A total of six High Stewards of Scotland are buried in Paisley Abbey.
After the collapse of the bell tower in 1533 destroyed the aisles and transept of the church, they were not rebuilt. The abbey was dissolved in 1560 as part of the Scottish Reformation. The remaining parts of the church were then used as a parish church.
In 1789, the church was repaired. In 1859, the first of a series of extensive restoration works began, returning the church to its original state over time.
The choir stalls in Paisley Abbey were made and carved in the 1920s - and are populated with animals.
