Farewell to Fiunary (spelled Funery in the DT) was written by Rev Tormod Mac LeĆ²id [Norman McLeod]. ^^There are several errors in the DT; a better version is at www.tannahillweavers.com
Also Alice made corrections at the thread Slan le Fionnairigh.

We don't know whether or not the lyrics sung by Kist O' Deil and Tannahill Weavers areMcLeod's original - there is some doubt - The song has become best known in the Gaelic translation by Archibald Sinclair and some people have re-translated the Gaelic into English!
