I've posted a number of Scottish threads today, but would appreciate some feedback from those more knowledgable. The Burns version of Where Helen Lies is in the DT with the tune source given as 'Where Helen Lies'. I have a score of 'Kirkconnel Lea' which is not attributed to Burns, similar lyrics but refers to death by sword rather than gun. Did Burns base his version on an existing 'Kirkconnel Lea'?

I haven't had a chance to compare the music yet.
