| Notes 2 | "Native Gaelic speakers in Cape Breton believe that the song has some connection with Portree, Skye, Scotland, and that the rock on which the mother was drowned was called, "The Rock of Grey Donald's Daughter." According to tradition, the unfortunate woman's ghost haunted the area, and her mournful lullaby could be heard at night by passing sailors." |
