... four bars added ... [sigh]

I trust a better typist and computer user than I will one day put right convolutions in the Wikipedia Skye Boat Song entry.


Songs of the North, volume 1, 1885, song V, page 18 [all names in capitals]

"Skye Boat Song (Jacobite)
Words by Harold Boulton
Old Highland rowing measure arranged by Malcolm Lawson


Incidentally volume 1 first edition contains several songs illustrated to commission, in addition to the frontispiece that appears in many editions. Skye Boat Song is acompanied by an illustration by Mrs Hugh Blackburn.

Copy seen is in the British Library, London.
