michaelr Outlander: Mary of souls? (4) Outlander: Mary of souls? 10 Apr 16

Season two of the drama series "Outlander" has begun airing in the US. It's an intriguing mix of Scots history and bodice-ripping, sword-clanging action, gorgeously filmed in the Scottish highlands and now on the Continent.

The title song is a re-write of the Skye Boat Song, in which the stanza "Mary of souls, she sailed on a day/Over the sea to Skye" appears. I'm intrigued with the phrase "Mary of souls". Can someone tell me whether that phrase has appeared elsewhere, or what it might mean?
