Notaichean a' Chlàir

4 verses (beginning missing). The most commonly known Scottish version of this ballad is sung to a
Breton tune, 'Al Alarc'h', first published in 1839, and which Morris Blythman (aka 'Thurso Berwick') learned from Breton folksinger Zaig Montjarrét in the 1950s. The song with this tune was then popularised by Ray Fisher.
