Summary
The contributor gives information about a bard from Breakish called Donald MacMillan. He was known as 'An t-Ogha Mòr'. He then recites lines of poetry sent by the bard in a letter to his wife. He composed them while he was working in Dumfries for a crown a day (a lot of money at the time). He is complaining that he cannot come home.
