| Notes 1 | "Cha b’ fhada chum a chuid mhòr de na sguir de n’ òl aig àm “Diteadh Mhic-an-Toisich” ri ’n gealladh. Thòisich iad air òl mar-a b’ àbhaist daibh. B’ e sin aobhar an òrain so. Tha e air a dheanamh mar gu’m b’ ann le “Raoghal Cùbair, pìobaire Mhic-an.Tòisich.”" |
| Notes 2 | "“An Còirneal,” Munro, was a Scotsman. He at one time owned nearly all the lands on which the village of Antigonish now stands. He was Colonel of the Militia. His uncle, the Rev. James Munro, who was born at Orbiston, near Elgin, was the first minister of Antigonish. He was settled there in the summer of 1807. He visited Antigonish and preached there in 1797. He died in 1819. “Am Maidseir Alasdair,” Alexander Cameron, was a native of Lochaber, and was a good-hearted sort of man. “Uisdean” Hugh MacLennan, was a merchant in Antigonish. “Niall Camashron,” a native of Lochaber, kept a tavern in Antigonish. “Raonull Tuairnear,” Ranald MacLean, lived at Addington Forks. It was in his house the poet died. “Aonghus Gobha,” Angus Smith, is still living. “Lachunn Saor,” Lachlan MacLean was a native of Coll. He died, July 3rd, 1855. “Iain Mac Isaic,” a native of Moidart is still living.”" |
