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 See John Shaw, Brìgh an Òrain (Montreal & Kingston: McGill-Queen's University Press, 2000), 139-143.
Notes 4 These verses do not exist in Scotland. According to local tradition they were composed by a young woman nearby in Inverness Co. betrayed by a sweetheart who later became a clergyman.
