| Notes 1 | "ORAN GAOIL Le fear a bha air ùr-phòsadh, agus aig an robh mòran gaoil air a mhnaoi. Dh’ éirich a bhean bhuaithe ’s an oidhche gun fhios da, agus chaidh i am falach air. Shaoil esan gur h-ann a chaidh a goid bhuaithe le fear eile, agus thòisich e air an òran so a dheanamh. Bha ise g’a éisdeachd agus ag ionnsachadh an òrain mar bha esan ga dheanamh. Chaochail e mu ’n do chuir e crioch air. Tha e air a sheanachas nach robh ’bhean beò ach ùine ghoirid na dhéigh." |
| Notes 2 | "There are only five verses of this song in John MacLean’s MS. The 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th verses I have copied from the Inverness Highlander. The song was sent to that paper by the poet of Loch Aillse. With that writer I have to say, “Cha ’n ’eil fios agam co ’rinn an t-òran so, no cuin, no co dha chaidh a dheanamh." It was an old song when John M‘Lean took it down in 1815. He does not say where he got it." |
