Date Of Language Notes[Note added 11/4/18:] The scanned image does not give a publication date, but bibliographic information (cf. Worldcat) suggests a possible date of 1841. Fasti ecclesiae scoticane, Vol. 7 (1928, p. 13), shows that the subject of this elegy, Killearnan parish minister, John Kennedy, died on 10th January 1841 and we can be confident that this work was composed close after that date.

Geographical Origins Notes[Geographical origin updated 11/4/18]. In the title of this work the author, 'HUISTEAN FRISEAL', is described as being 'AN URRAH', i.e. Urray parish which lay in both Ross-shire and partly in Inverness-shire. However, the titles of other works by the same author in Typographia Scoto-Gadelica (1915, p. 128) elaborate that he was 'o Sgire Chnuic-Muire', and elsewhere, 'Huistean Friseal, a bha chomhnuidh ann an Sgireachd Chnuic-Mhuire, ach a nis ann an Sgireachd Urra'. From the information here, it appears that he was originally from Cnoc Mhoire, or Kirkhill parish in east Inverness-shire, and that he subsequently moved to the neighbouring Urray parish. Those mentioned in his elegies tend to confirm this geographical location.
