Robert Traill was a Scottish minister who preached in England. A supporter of the Scottish Reformation, he refused to follow the episcopal church of the king of England, and preached as a Covenanter; he was arrested for treason and holding illegal outdoor church meetings. He was incarcerated on the Bass Rock, an island in the Firth of Forth from July 19, 1677, to October 5, 1677. His work was often quoted by J. C. Ryle and is still published in the 21st century.
