Notes 2 |
In a letter from Rev. Ronald MacGillivray (aka “Sagart Àrasaig”), to the Rev. A. Maclean Sinclair (NSARM MG 1, vol. 2660, no. 256), the Sagairt Àrasaig mentions the hymn and the first verse. According to him the full poem had thirteen verses and was printed in the first number of An Cuairtear Òg Gaelach. |
Notes 3 |
It fortunately was discovered in the March issue as only March-October issues are known to still exist for this publication. The Sagairt Àrasaig goes on to mention that An Cuairtear Òg Gaelach recycled much of its content from Cuairtear nan Gleann, a monthly publication produced in Scotland between 1840-43. |
