Margaret Kirkland

Margaret Kirkland fell 60 feet off a cliff into Blackrigg Quarry near Salsburgh and it is thought that she might have been pushed.

Her body was found by a 26-year-old miner who had lived in Main Street, Salsburgh whilst he was walking his dog along the road. He had looked over a broken fence by the road that separated the road from the quarry and seen her body. He then went off to Longacre Farm and informed the farmer there who then informed the police.
