Chaill mi snàmhaich a' chaolais 'S tu nach glaodhadh an t-aiseag, Agus coisiche beinne Nach bu deireadh air feachd thu. 'S ann aig Stac Beul an Àthain A bhàthadh an gaisgeach; Siud a' bheairt nach do shaoil Air an t-saoghal seo thachradh. Gun rachadh do bhàthadh Gu bràth gun chuan farsaing, No gun rachadh do mhilleadh 'S do chuid ghillean thighinn dhachaigh. 'S tha do bhreacan ùr uasal Ann an ùrlar an aigeil, 'S tha do lèine chaol bhòidheach Aig na rònaibh ga sracadh. Tha do ghàrtanan rìomhach Air ìnean nam partan, 'S tha d' fhaltan donn dualach Na chuachaibh 's na phreasaibh. Tha ruith nan tonn uaine Mu bhruaichean do leapa; Tha d' fhidheall gun ghleusadh 'S tha na teudan air glasadh. Tha do thaigh mòr gun tughadh 'S e 's dubhach liom d' aitreabh. Tha do phiuthar gun bhràthair 'S tha do mhàthair gun mhacan. Tha do bhean òg gun chèile 'S tha mi fhìn dheth gun dalta. 'S daor a cheannaich mi an t-iasgac From BBC Orain https://www.bbc.co.uk/alba/oran/orain/s_daor_a_cheannaich_mi_n_t_iasgach/ From the singing of Christine Primrose from the album 'S Tu Nam Chuimhne - And you on my mind released in 1987 https://i.imgur.com/urPGLBX.jpg https://i.imgur.com/7nm7o7T.jpg https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0247/5213/files/COMD2024_Christine_Primrose_S_tu_nam_chuimhne.pdf?16154056427886929143 Ishbel MacAskill was only released on cassette and LP no words |

It's a lament for someone who has drowned. Tha do phiuthar gun bhràthair 'S tha do mhàthair gun mhacan. Tha do bhean òg gun chèile 'S tha mi fhìn dheth gun dalta. your sister is without a brother your mother without a son Your young wife without a spouse And myself without my foster child According to the BBC Bliadhna nan Òrain page, this song probably dates from the 18th century. Taigh a' Chladaich, the house of the shore/beach, was the former name of a hotel in North Uist, later known as the Westford Inn. but some people associate the song with Islay instead of with Uist. |

Your sister is without a brother And your mother is left without a son. Your young wife is without a spouse And I am without my fosterling. Your bed has not been made On the sea floor, Your beautiful fine shirt Has been ripped by the seals. Your beautiful garters Are on the crabs’ claws. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0535/4913/8100/files/Ishbel_Faclan.pdf?v=1645973754 |

Fishing has been a very dangerous occupation for a long time, although now, thank goodness, we have the technology to track storms better. |
