===Scotland=== In [[Scotland]], a servant named Robert Weir was broken on the wheel at [[Edinburgh]] in 1603 or 1604 (sources disagree). This punishment had been used infrequently there. The crime had been the murder of John [[Clan Kincaid|Kincaid]], Lord of [[Warriston]], on behalf of his wife, [[Jean Kincaid]]. Weir was secured to a cart wheel and was struck and broken with the [[Coulter (agriculture)|coulter]] of a [[plough]]. Lady Warriston was later beheaded.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Chambers |first=Robert |title=Domestic Annals of Scotland |publisher=W & R Chambers |year=1885 |location=Edinburgh}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Buchan |first=Peter |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1h_gAAAAMAAJ&q=John+Kincaid+Warriston&pg=PA296 |title=Ancient Ballads and Songs of the North of Scotland |year=1828 |volume=1 |location=Edinburgh, Scotland |page=296 |author-link=Peter Buchan |access-date=21 March 2010}}</ref>
