Transcript of Angus Mackay's 'Specimens of Canntaireachd', of about 1853, and a note, dated 1950, by Archibald Campbell, on points arising from a study of the Nether Lorn and Mackay manuscripts., Circa 1853, 1950.
Scope and Contents
The transcript was made by John Bartholomew, father of the depositor.
The note relates to (1) the authorship of the Nether Lorn Canntaireachd, which is generally ascribed to Colin Campbell of Ardmaddy, (2) the question whether the volume of canntaireachd that belonged to Sir John MacGregor Murray at the beginning of the nineteenth century and has now been lost sight of was part of the Nether Lorn Canntaireachd, (3) the relationship of Angus Mackay's version of four tunes in his 'Specimens' to the version of the same four in the Nether Lorn Canntaireachd, and (4) the probability that the Nether Lorn Canntaireachd was not the only manuscript of its kind.
