That's about all I know right now without attempting to find the book that said that. I'd have to look; but I will. If it really is that old, then that would be about the time of the Crusades. The Knights Templar were around then, and disbanded as witches soon after the Crusades ended, I believe. The only lyrics I've ever found are the ones by Robert Burns; same slow, sad tune, but his is a love song. Can't remember the exact wording, but it only mentioned Roslin Castle once or twice. And his version isn't exactly easy to sing.
