keberoxu Binneas nam Bard/Bardic Melody (13) RE: Binneas nam Bard/Bardic Melody 08 Jun 17


Regarding the six songs enumerated in the previous post:

"Cumha do Mhac Dhonnachaidh Ghlinne Faochain"
might also be spelled
"Cumha do Mhac Dhonnchaidh Gleann a Faochan"
meaning
lament for the son of Duncan of Glen Faochan.

This lament concerns the Battle of Inverlochy, or as MacFarlane's text reads,
Blàr Ionbhar-Lòchaidh.

A lyric very close to this particular lament
survives from the Cape Breton area,
and may be found online.
