| Description | A volume of poems of Rob Donn Mackay (1714-1778); according to a note at the front it was taken down from the dictation of the poet by a daughter of Rev. John Thomson, minister of Durness, 1764-1811: probably Janet (1766-1785). The present manuscript is a later, possibly revised, copy of her original manuscript which does not seem to survive. The paper is watermarked 1813-1815, and it contains a lament for Rob Donn by George Morison. The scribe is Thomson's successor at Durness, the Rev. William Findlater (1784-1869), who married another daughter of Thomson, Mary (1790-1868). Foliated 16-82, 82-94 by the scribe, with two unnumbered folios at the end; the more recent library foliation, 1-82, has been followed here, with the original foliation given in brackets. Publication references are to Hew Morrison's edition, 'Songs and Poems in the Gaelic Language by Rob Donn Mackay' (1899) |
