Summary

The subject of the first waulking song is the hated Hugh MacDonald, the murderer of the MacVicar brothers in North Uist. The hatred felt for him is clear from the text.

The contributor then sings a second waulking song in which the composer says that she will not go to Kilmuir, and will not meet with Murdo who was a deceiver.

Information about singing waulking songs is given.
