Notes 1 |
"Donald M‘Lean was a brother of John M‘Lean the poet. I took down a few of his songs from his daughter Anna in Tyree in 1863. He was by trade a cooper and was commonly called Dòmhnull Cùbair. He died in 1868, in the 98th year of his age. The occasion of this ditty was as follows:—The cooper was one evening at the brewery, but was not asked in; shortly after he had left, some of the kegs were found to be in a leaky condition, and he was immediately sent for to tighten them." |
