Gutcher	Lost Songs of St Kilda (34)	RE: Lost Songs of St Kilda	11 Feb 17
Do the following two verses appear in any of the lost songs mentioned above? From a St.Kilda song--to the tune The St.Kilda Wedding. "Is truach nach robh mis"s giullachan Air mullach Cleit Gadaig Acuim air a sunnaradh Us mise bhi gu h-aird oirr" Song, words and music by Marion Gillies, St. Kilda. "Gu rubh Ian MacGilliosa Uair us usirigin a liobh rium Ach o"n thain an t-iarl a Isl Sguiridh e dha bhriodal beoil" Both songs pre mid 19th. C. The third line of the second song, with my complete lack of gaelic, would appear to me to be referring to a Thane or Earl of Islay. Isl being that given for Islay in old charters.
