It has been speculated that the tune to this formed the basis of
the much loved Skye Boat Song. The words are by William Ross, who lived in
the late 17th century. The tune this is sung to, has the first four lines
of it like the second half of the Skye Boat Song, and the last half of
each verse sung like the first half. The tune is ALMOST but not exactly
the reverse of the Skye Boat Song.
