Notebook titled 'Laoidhean na Gaeltachd' and 'Dughall Buchanan', Late 19th or early 20th century
Scope and Contents
Marked 'Mackinnon A13' and noted thus in previous historical records. It has also been previously recorded as A39, and it is not clear when it became A13.
The title of the notebook, Laoidhean na Gaeltachd, translates to English as 'Hymns of the Gaelic-speaking region' or 'Hymns of the Highlands' or 'Hymns of the Highlands and Islands'. (Gaeltachd, or, in modern Scottish Gaelic, Gàidhealtachd, has no direct English translation, but generally refers to the Highlands, with the idea of the Highlands and Western Isles being synonymous with Gaelic language and culture for speakers of Gaelic).
A notebook containing notes and discussions of hymns in Gaelic perhaps written by Dugald Buchanan. Possible that there is also biographical information on Dugald Buchanan.
