"'Braigh Rusgaich' — the only song, so far as is known, composed by Iain Mac Dhughaill, Bunloit — has for the last eighty or ninety years continued to be one of the most popular songs of the district of Loch Ness. It was composed in Edinburgh, where the bard died in the early years of the present century" (pp. 415-416); the Gaelic text is on pp. 532-533. Of the Nova Scotia settlers: "John Macdougall, son of John Macdougall (Iain Mac Dhughaill), author of 'Braigh Rusgaich' ... emigrated in 1828, and settled at Blue Mountain" (p. 570). Mackay had his Nova Scotia information partly from Rev. D. B. Blair. (McMillan, Humphrey-Enos and Bell-Gerow: Notable Connections Research)
