Notes 1 From: The Casket, Antigonish, Nova Scotia, November 30, 1939, page 8 which is a reprint of a version from The Casket, May 3, 1924, page 8 (Vol. 72, No. 18), submitted by Rod D. MacDonald. A similar version of the song is found in Mactalla nan Tùr by the Rev. A. Maclean Sinclair, Sydney, Nova Scotia, 1901, page 117. An identical version to this appears in “Cùil na Gàidhlig,” Rev. A. Maclean Sinclair’s Gaelic column in the Pictou News, March 26, 1886. It should be noted that there are two extra verses in these versions.
