Notes 3 "chumha a rinn Pàra Mór Mac Criomain air son a mhaighstir, Ruairidh Mór Mac Leoid, a fhuair bàs ’s a’ bhliadhna 1626. Thathar ag ràdh gur e ’n ceòl a rinneadh leis na facail so a’ phìobaireachd is ceòlmhoire a rinneadh riamh. An uair a dh’ fhalbh an anail á Ruairidh Mór thog Pàra Mór a phìob air a ghuala, ’s a cur a chùl ri Dunbheagain, agus mar a thriall e sios gu Bòraraig rinn e ’chumha so is sheinn e air a’ phìob i"
