• Notes

  'of Galloway' "Miss Susan Heron told a Miss McKie that her grandfather was on Wigton Sands on the day the two martyrs Margaret M'LACHLAND and Margaret WILSON on the 11th May 1685 were drowned and that his very words were 'The hail sands war covered wi cluds o' folks a' gathered into clusters here and there, offering up prayers for the two women while they were being put down.' Miss Susan HERON died 19th Feb. 1834, aged 87 years, and her grandfather, James HERON died 31st October 1758, aged 94 years old, showing that he was twenty years of age when the women were drowned. The HERON graves are in Penninghame Churchyard." (McKerlie, p. 341)
