MacCrimmon's Sweetheart

This is a tune composed by Clanranald's piper--of the day--to a cow lost in a bog by a widow in Benbecula, South Uist. The cow was a noted one, & was greatly admired by the widow, as her only one apparently. It got lost in the common moss one day, & ultimately the whole neighbourhood turned out to look for it, likely in compassion for the owner, the piper among the rest; but its finding defied them, after their best efforts, nor was the skeleton of it found till over a year afterwards, by a mere accident. The whole circumstances therefore afforded the piper a good theme to begin, which he did as if the widow herself was the author thus: Gadiunndrain a tha me, si mo ghradh a mhaol dounn, Gad iarreidh feadh fhraochan, s' gad shlaodadh a poul” Notes courtesy Dr William Donaldson
