Description

Chaidh an t-òran seo a dhèanamh le Niall MacIllEathain, Niall an Tàilleir, às a’ Chaolas a rinn mòran bàrdachd a chithear anns an leabhar, ‘Na Bàird Thirisdeach’. Bha e càirdeach do dh’Iain Mhic Ailein, Bàrd Thighearna Cholla. Tha carragh-cuimhne bhrèagha air uaigh ann an cladh beag Chirceabol air a cur suas leis a’ Chomann Thiristeach. Fhuair sinn an t-òran seo bho phiuthar ar n-athar, Floraidh NicPhàil, a lorg an t-òran am measg phàipearan an teaghlaich.

This song was composed by Neil MacLaine, Niall an Tàilleir, from Caolas. He composed a significant body of work, some of which can be seen in the book, ‘The Tiree Bards’. He was a relation of John MacLean, Bàrd Thighearna Cholla (the Bard of the Laird of Coll). There is an attractive memorial stone on his grave in the little cemetery at Kirkapol erected by the Tiree Association. We learnt this song from our auntie Floraidh MacPhail who found it amongst family papers.
