Margaret Wilson was a Scottish Covenanter who was martyred at the age of 18 for refusing to swear an oath of allegiance to the King James VII and King James II of England. Her story is closely tied to the Killing Time, a period of intense persecution of Covenanters in Scotland during the reign of King Charles II. The Scottish Reformation and the National Covenant played significant roles in shaping the context of her life and death. The Solemn League and Covenant of 1643 also influenced the Presbyterian Church and its relationship with the Church of England.

The Westminster Confession of Faith, adopted by the Church of Scotland in 1647, also played a significant role in shaping her faith. The Bishops' Wars and the English Civil War had a profound impact on the British Isles, including Scotland, during her lifetime. The Treaty of Union between Scotland and England in 1707 would later have significant consequences for the Church of Scotland and its relationship with the Church of England.

The Synod of Dort and the Canons of Dort also had an impact on the Reformed churches in Scotland and beyond.
