| Notes 1 | "’N uair a cheannaich e ’Bheinn Mhor ann am Muile." |
| Notes 2 | "Hugh, 15th Maclean of Coll, was born in the year 1782. He served for some time in the Guards. He was married twice, first to Jennet Dennistoun of Colgrain, and secondly to a Miss Robertson of Edinburgh. He was a kind-hearted man. He left a large family of sons and daughters. He got deeply into debt. He was the last Maclean of Coll. The reference in the 7th verse is to the following incident:—John M‘Donald, of Hogh in Tiree, was in the Laird of Coll’s regiment. He neglected the performance of some duty at a bridge, and Major Montgomery ordered him to be whipped. Maclean of Coll went twice to the Major, and humbly pled with him to forgive MacDonald, but the Major was inexorable. When the flogging was to begin Maclean went, and with his sword cut the cords with which MacDonald was tied to the whipping-post. Montgomery challenged Maclean: the challenge was at once accepted. As Maclean was quite young there was some fear among the soldiers that he might possibly be killed; so they sent word to Montgomery that if he killed Maclean he would be shot. The duel was not fought." |
