GUEST,Calum MacLeod Lyr Req: Gun Teann Mi Ris Na Ruinn Tha Seo (20) RE: Lyr Req: Gun Teann Mi Ris Na Ruinn Tha Seo 18 Sep 06


For the record, I should like to point out that Fagail Bhearnaraigh as performed by Capercaille is based on a composition by DUNCAN MacLeod of Berneray, NOT by a John MacLeod of Lewis. It was one of the songs that you could hear in the background of the television programme Prince among Islands, featuring Prince Charles and the island of Berneray, Harris, (now connected by causeway to North Uist), and narrated by Selina Scott. I notice that the song is repeatedly credited wrongly in a database which suggests that it was composed by I. MacLeod rather than D. MacLeod. As these databases are only as useful as they are reliable, I would urge those who have taken upon themselves the task of maintaining databases and of presenting information on the internet as if it were authoritative to check their facts and to amend their erroneous misrepresentations accordingly.
