My comments:
This is a fairly old, yellowed little songbook, undated but probably printed around or after 1927. It's original price was 4d. and I paid an outrageous 25p. for it in a Malvern second-hand bookshop whilst on holiday in England in 1992. It has 12 songs in Gaelic and English collected and arranged by M. Kennedy-Fraser and Kenneth MacLeod. The titles contained are:
- Birlinn Health-Drinking Chant
- Cool Hill Pastures
- Deirdre's Farewell to Scotland
- Fionn's Keening for Oscar
- Late lies the wintry sun abed
- Potato Liftin'
- The Rocks o' Rodel
- Sail Hoisting Chanty
- Sea Feast
- Skye Milking Song
- To Iona
- The Uncanny Mannikin
