| Notes 1 | Generally considered the first Gaelic song composed in North America` |
| Notes 2 | In his book, 'We're Indians Sure Enough: The Legacy of the Scottish Highlanders in the United States' (p. 175), Dr. Michael Newton casts doubts on the common assumption that the poem was composed by Iain Mac Mhurchaidh (John MacRae) of Kintail, and instead suggests an anonymous female composer. His book also contains an alternative version of the song text. |
