Engraving of Presbyterian worshippers in Scotland worshipping at an illegal conventicle on a hill-side. These field meetings were held sometimes under cover of night, in the open air, on moors or hills, or in glens and ravines, or wherever safety and suitability could be combined. Illustration from 'The history of Protestantism' by James Aitken Wylie (1808-1890), pub. 1878
