Scope and Contents
Song collected from Duncan Cameron, police officer, Tobar Mhoire/Tobermory, Muile/Isle of Mull, entitled 'Coisgrigeadh an Aodaich' [Consecration of the Cloth]. The song begins 'S math gha'ainsa mo rann, A teuma le gleann' and is composed of lines. The accompanying note describes the work done while the song is sung, 'The web is made into a roll. All the women work at the roll patting it and the rann is said three times over. Then at the end the roll is tossed end over and say A a aodach seo [-] chan fhaoibh e. Then turn it back and say S cha chuid cleir no sagairt e.' A vocabulary note reads 'Cuimhne an fheidh' [cuibhne an fhèidh or antlers] = Croic an fheidh "Cridhe do chuimhne air a chodacha le stailinn", the quotation being taken from 'Conn Mac An Deirg' in 'Sean Dana le Oisian, Orann, Ulann &c' (see publications below). The text has been scored through in ink as if transcribed elsewhere.
