Hello!

I'm looking for some Scottish Gaelic lyrics, I hope you can help! The song I'm looking for tells the story of Jessie MacDonald of Balranald North Uist, who eloped with her lover in 1850.
I've heard this song from Julie Fowlis live at BBC Travelling Folk around Christmas time last year, but I don't know anything else...

Thanks for helping!
