Keep left for Blackgannoch Conventicles
Originally, apart from finding that a conventicle is a secret or unauthorised religious meeting, linked to the Covenantors in the 17th Century, I could find little about the Blackgannoch Conventicles. Thanks to Ian Broadfoot, in Australia, I now know that the story of the Conventicles is in a book, available on-line, "Traditions of the Convenantors" - Chapter 3 http://www.archive.org/stream/MN5131ucmf_3#page/n3/mode/2up, where the spelling is Blagannach.
