Subject: RE: Where Helen Lies/Kirkconnel Lea
Boab - Interseting to herear about Kirkconnel Lea being near Langholm. I had always thought the song refered to the Kirkconnel In Nithsdale as the Society was declared in Sanquar and there is a memorial commemorating a massacre of Covenaters on a hilltop between the top of the Scaur valley and Sanquar/kirkconnel. Could you tell me any more, please.
