| Notes 1 | "“Oran do ’n Chuairtear” was written about the year 1842. The “Iain Muilleir” referred to was a native of Sutherlandshire. His name was John Sutherland; and he was commonly known as “Bodach an Fhéilidh.” He was driven to this country when an old man by the Sutherland clearings. He wore the kilt in winter and summer; probably he never had a pair of trousers on. He was like his countryman, Rob Donn, a noted deer-hunter. He lived to the patriarchal age of one hundred and seven years. The person referred to in the 16th verse, as proving that the Gaelic was the language of Eden, is Lachlan MacLean, author of the “History of the Celtic Language.”" |
