Grant, Ranken and Hamilton were three Scottish Chartist leaders. Support for the Chartist movement had been strong in Scotland during the earlier part of 1848, particularly in the large cities. Hamilton and Ranken were reported to have expressed revolutionary and republican sentiments at a mass meeting in Edinburgh in June, which Grant had chaired.
