I always thought it was "Harris, or Eigg, or fair Iona" but the words printed on the Tannahill's CD insert are "Harris, Dunvegan, fair Iona".
So which is the mondegreen? Which words did Hugh Roberton write?
Also, is it Eilean Mulligh, Muileach or, from this site,
"the island of Mingulay (Gael: Miughalaigh)"
Is it Mull or Mingulay?
The Fisher family recording is lovely - with a young Ray and Archie singing the verses and the childrens voices joining them for the chorus. That's Joyce, Cindy, Audrey and a very young Cilla - she looks and sounds about 10 years old!
I just love it.
A few years back I asked Ray to sign the record for us and she wrote on the front:
    Ancient monument!
It's Topic no. 12T137 but I doubt if you'll find a copy now, unless it's been turned into a CD.
