GUEST,Fiona	Meaning: I'll dye my petticoat (55* d)	RE: Meaning: I'll dye my petticoat	28 Oct 10
I recall that it was said that Mary Queen of Scots "dressed herself as a martyr... and dyed her petticoat red" before her execution. So, I've always thought that the song "Siuil a Rún" refers to the lady perceiving herself as a martyr for her husband's needs. It is possible that red has been considered a brash color only in the past hundred or so years.
