Song entitled 'Gipsy Song In Gipsy Language' collected from 'a band of "tinners" working in a cart shed at Bailemartin, N[orth] Uist' [Baile Mhàrtainn/Balmartin, Uibhist a Tuath/North Uist] beginning 'Dheirc gearradh agus glomhach, Misealac leth blainteag' with a translation into Gaelic beginning 'Chunnaig/Chunnas bean agus duine, Falbh le bo'. At the top of the page in two different inks Carmichael has written 'Gailig Nan ceard' and 'Cainnt Nan Ceard' to indicate that the language of the song is in the travelling people's version of Gaelic. The story states that one of the band was Daonald MacDonald from Gearrloch [Geàrrloch, Ros is Cromba/Ross and Cromarty] who fell in love with a gipsy girl and joined them. Carmichael speculates as to who was related to whom within the band and notes their healthy appearance. He adds 'They had stories, songs and ports; and curious conundrum, very ingenious drawn from sacred and profane history. Had I been able to stay I might have obtained much curious old lore from these decent tinkers'. Carmichael was told by one of the women that they had been buying old brooches and other ornaments for a watchmaker in Stornoway [Steòrnabhagh] who was selling them 'at high prices to English tourists'. The vocabulary relates to the travelling people's Gaelic, in particular linen and meat. A page has been cut out of the note book (probably contemporaneously) before this entry.
