Notes 1 The composer would prefer to have a favourable west wind for the boat bringing the ruler of the land. The song describes life in the castle in Sleat, where there is fiddling, piping and dancing. Various supportive clan chiefs are named.
Notes 2 See: An t-Òranaiche, ed. Trueman Matheson (2004), p. 257.
