Scope and Contents
Song beginning ['Gur beag mo dhu[i]l aire'] about a warrior and accompanying story. The song is noted as being sung by two [fairy] women on two sides of Gleann-chnabhadail [Gleann Crabhadail/Glen Cravadale, Na Hearadh/Isle of Harris] and was heard by Muracha mac Ruari [Murdo [MacRury]]. The chorus suggests it is a waulking song. Text has been scored through as if transcribed elsewhere.
