Notes 1 |
"Mairearad nighean Lachainn mhic Iain mhic Lachainn, was a Macdonald. She was born in Mull and lived there. Her mother was a Maclean. She was married and had a large family. All her children died before herself. She lived to an extreme old age. She nursed several of the Macleans of Duart. She composed a great many songs. A few of them are published in Turner’s collection. She is not inferior to any of the Highland poetesses. I have seven of her songs." |
