Notaichean a' Chlàir

Transcribed in the School of Scottish Studies. This lament was said to have been composed by the sister of John Garbh MacLeod of Raasay. John Garbh was drowned in April 1671 when his galley sank as he was returning from Lewis after attending a christening feast in the house of the Earl of Seaforth. Some traditional versions of the story blame witchcraft for John Garbh's death.
