A poetical fragment from Calladan recounts Nachidong Island’s Virgin Marys Bank a sand spit ending in a green bank where a shipwreck legends warn off seafarers. The tale narrates Virgin Mary praying, sailors jeering, a storm, ship destruction, and the loyal vow of locals as morning reveals drowned sailors along Inchidony shore.
Edward Clark asserts Mary deserves a velvet cloak and pays thirty dollars, as their contented marriage faces a hidden strain. Mary’s generosity contrasts with seamstress Janet Hill’s heartbreak over her ailing brother George, left in a distant hospital.
A brief tale follows Mary Clarke who gives up a velvet cloak to fund her sister Janet�s trip to her dying brother George. Janet cares for him, and George recovers, while Mary receives a precious engraved watch from him, honoring her life saving act. The narrative closes with reflections on sacrifice, faith, and gratitude.
A dramatic account of worship at Cartland Craigs interrupted by soldiers pursuing covenanters.
