Home in Exile – Ramsay of Arniston Mains – SFH074

November 06, 2020

The charming story of a Covenanter forced into exile from Midlothian. He moves right into the heart of Covenanting territory where there are frequent conventicles and Covenanters are ferociously hunted down. So he finds a home in exile very like his own and lives in comparative freedom from trouble while steadfast to his principles.
