Notes 2 The metadata for the Cape Breton Gaelic Folklore Collection has been compiled from an index at St FX University and additional information was entered by volunteers during online transcription frolics in 2021. At the end of the Language in Lyrics project in March 2022, the metadata is still incomplete and it is hoped that further funding will be secured for a project dedicated to expanding the metadata and completing transcriptions for these songs.
Notes 3 Starts with chorus "'S i mo leannan an té ùr". According to someone, the song was composed by one Niall Ban Macionmhuinn living at Croig (Mull), originally from Caolas, Coll.
