Summary

A young woman sings of her love for the Campbell nobleman from Islay. She criticises those who gossip about her and say that she is pregnant. She says that if she were able to write that she would send a letter to her beloved in Islay and tell him that the lies they tell about them are untrue.

The song is believed to have been composed by a woman from St Kilda.
