| Notes 1 | "Rinneadh an t-òran so do dh’ Aonghas Mac-Néill, gille ’mhuinntir Bharra. Bha e ’na sgalag aig Ailean Mac-Gilleain athair’ a’ Bhàird ré dha no trì de bhliadhnaichean. Dh ’fhàg e Ailean is chaidh e do ’n Ghalltachd a dh’ionnsaidh na buana. ’N uair a thill e air ais do Thireadh thòisich e air iarraidh air a’ Bhàrd òran a sgrìobhadh dha air leannan a bh’ aige ann an Cana. Chaidh an t-òran a dheanamh, ach cha do phòs Aonghas Catriona NicLeòid. Thréig e i airson seann mhaighdinn leis an d’ fhuair e beagan airgid." |
