A MHISG A CHUR AN NOLIG OIRN (Christmas Carousing).

Scottish, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning. AAB.

The Gaelic title is translated as ‘Christmas Carousing’. The word ‘carousing’ derives from the Danes. A rouse was a large glass that was filled with an alcoholic beverage for drinking a health; the drinking of the health by the assembled company formed a carouse. There could be no carouse unless the glasses were emptied (Hackwood, 1909). MacDonald (The Skye Collection), 1887; pg. 14.
