dc.descriptionContext view, the Martyrs Monument at left, Governor's House, center, Nelson Monument at right; The Scottish Martyrs were five men, three of them English, who were imprisoned for campaigning for parliamentary reform in the late 18th and early 19th centuries under the influence of the ideals of the French Revolution. The five were accused of sedition in a series of trials and transported to Australia in 1794 and 1795. The monument was funded by public subscription raised by the radical MP Joseph Hume.
