Subject: Mo shuil a'd dheidh (origin)
Hello, I picked up this song a couple of days ago at Barry Taylor's Lyrics Site: http://www3.islandnet.com/~btaylor/homepage.htm It is in Scottish Gaelic and means literally "My eye is longing for you." Anyway, I would like to know if anyone knows the origin of this song. Barry thought it originated on the island of Skye and said that the Rankins recorded it.

Thanks
