ENGLISH SUMMARY
The title of the book Ri Luinneig mun Chrò ('Singing round the cattlefold') is taken from a Gaelic song telling of the poet's fond memories of his homeland, including the evocative sound of young women singing as they milked the cattle.
For many generations, cattle have played a very important role in various aspects of Gaelic life and culture and a rich heritage of song and story has survived with cattle as a prominent theme. In addition to many milking songs, the book includes a wide range of other songs and poems connected to cattle in Scotland and tells the fascinating story behind the lyrics - songs about valiant drovers and herdsmen working in difficult conditions; songs extolling the virtues of the cattle themselves or of the people tending them at the shieling or in the local township; poems which show the importance of cattle in economic terms, as a status symbol, unit of currency or dowry; songs about land poverty, de-settlement and emigration; songs about intrepid cattle thieves stealing livestock from neighbouring clans and from further afield; songs and charms to ward away evil spirits and protect livestock from the evil eye and humorous anecdotal songs about difficulties with the local township bull. The final chapter looks at how many of these themes have survived to the present day in beautiful, soothing Gaelic lullabies.
The song lyrics themselves are included in an appendix at the end of the book, with information on where to find a recording or written version of the tune. Some new tunes are also included to bring new life into songs whose original tunes have been lost over time.
