Summary
Two boys from Eilean Seona used to send winkles and lobsters to London. They were caught in a terrible storm on one occasion while delivering them to Arisaig, and nearly drowned. They received payment for the winkles, but the lobsters were condemned. One of the boys was feeling unhappy about this after getting the letter. He called on the tailor, who was a local bard. The tailor composed this song.
