Subject: RE: Scots Songsmith From: An Buachaill Caol Dubh Date: 21 Jul 22 - 10:27 PM "The Gartan Mother's Lullaby" is by Seosamh Mac Cathmhaoil/Joseph Campbell, early C20th and to an air collected by Herbert Hughes, I would assume in County Donegal. Lough Gartan is traditionally said to be the birthplace of St. Colmcille/Columba. |
