| Notes 1 | "Bu mhac an creachadair ainmeil, Ailean nan Sop, do Lachann Catanach, Triath Dhubhairt. Thogadh e ann an Cairnaburg, caisteal làidir air eilean beag cùlthaobh Mhuile. Fhuair e long fo smachd, agus chaidh e leatha bho àite gu àite a creachadh ’sa losgadh. Mharbh e Tighearna ’n Leithir ’s chum e ’oighreachd gu latha ’bhàis. Thog e iomadh creach ann an Eirinn agus anns a’ Ghalldachd. Dh’ éirich e gu cumhachd mòr. Cheannaich Mac-Dhòmhnuill a chàirdeas le eilean Ghiogha agus caisteal aig ceann Loch Tairbeirt a thoirt da. Fhuair e Cille-Charmaic ann an Cnapadal bho Mhac-Cailean. Cha robh creachadair riamh sa Ghàidhealtachd coltach ris. Ràinig e gu aois mhòir. Chaochail e mu ’n bhliadhna 1555. Tha e ’n tiodhlacadh an Reilig Orain an I Chaluim-Chille." |
| Notes 2 | "Bu duine math Tighearna Chola, ’s bha giùlan Ailein a’ cur duilichinn air. Chual Ailean nach robh e toilichte leis ’s chuir e roimhe aicheamhail a bhi aige. Sheòl e gu Cola; ghlac e ’fhear- cinnidh, ’s thug e leis e gu Loch Tairbeirt. Bha Tighearna Chola ’n a dheadh-bhàrd, agus air dha òran a dheanamh air Ailean fhuair e as. Tha e gle choltach gur h-e so a cheart òran leis an d’ fhuair e a shaorsa." |
