William Connellan, born in Cloonmahon, County Sligo. fl. mid-1600s.
Connellan was a harper, who may or may not have composed the tune Caoineach Luimnigh (the lament for Limerick). He was well-known in Scotland, where he travelled extensively. There his version of Luimnigh became Lochabar No More. He is also credited with Love's A Tormenting Pain, and probably Killiecrankie. His brother was the composer Thomas Connellan.
