Philippa, you are right,leannan (and McKellar pronounced it this way) should be substituted for lennan in the song. Mo Mhairi probably was changed in the McKellar album to Mary for the sake of a wider audience; also in one line he seems to use My rather than Mo. The melody to The Shieling Maids would be interesting to hear. Is in in Midi anywhere? I have bookmarked the CLI site for going through later. Thanks for the information.
