Notes 1 A conversation about waulking songs, old songs, general songs and stories. Occasional verses are recited throughout. Some of the songs record local events, e.g. a fire that went out of control. Mention is made of the Currie bards, and other bards such as Donald MacIntyre (Dòmhnall Ruairidh Ailein). Stories and storytelling are examined, e.g. 'The Three Black Hats'.
