Roderick Morison (Ruaidhri Mac Mhuirich) was born at Bragar in Lewis around 1656 and died about 1714, probably near Dunvegan in Skye. The standard work is William Matheson's The Blind Harper: The Songs of Roderick Morison and his Music (Scottish Gaelic Texts Society, 1970) -well worth a read if you're interested in that sort of thing.
