John Ogilvie, SJ (1580 – 10 March 1615) was an outlawed Scottish Jesuit priest and martyr during the religious persecution of the Catholic Church in Scotland, which began with the 1560 Scottish Reformation Parliament and ended only with Catholic Emancipation in 1829. Ogilvie was born into the Scottish nobility of rural Banffshire and brought up as a Presbyterian, but sent to Catholic Europe for his education. His curiosity was piqued by witnessing public debates between Catholic and Calvinist scholars and he decided to convert to Catholicism. Read more on Wikipedia
