Scope and Contents
Prayer entitled 'Smaladh an Teine' probably collected from Mòr Maclean [née MacNeil, Borgh/Borve, Barraigh/Isle of Barraigh] beginning 'Smal mis noc an teine, Mar a smal C[riosd] an aitheal'. The accompanying biographical note states that Mòr is the wife of Murdoch Maclean, who is descended from the MacLeans of Duart [Isle of Mull], and the daughter of Alexander MacNeil of Kentangaval [Ceann Tangabhal]. She is noted as being 'a woman of fine voice understanding and a beautiful singer'. The text has been scored through as if transcribed elsewhere.
