FOOTNOTES:
[1] “My black-haired girl, my pretty girl, my black-haired girl, don’t leave me.” “Nighean dubh” is pronounced “Nyean du.”
[2] Literally, “Gearaidh-na’k-Aimhne,” the cutting of the river.
[3] Another name given by the islanders to these stones, is “Fir-bhreige,” false men. Both names, False Men and the Mourners, should be of some interest to antiquarians, for they will suit pretty nearly any theory.
