Notes 1 "Do bhean-uasail òig chliùitich a bha pòsda aig Dotair Iain Noble ann an Hogomah an Cape-Breatunn. Rinn am Bàrd am marbh-rann so air dian-iarrtas an Dotair, agus mar gu ’m b’ ann leis féin."
Notes 2 "In the summer of 1873 I visited Mrs Noble’s grave, in Whycocomagh, Cape Breton. The following is the inscription on her tombstone:—“Sacred to the memory of the lamented, Julian Mac Niven, wife of John Noble, surgeon. She was born in Tyree, Argyleshire, Scotland, and died 1st June, 1843, in the 38th year of her age.”"
