There were two ancient harpers that toured Scotland who were called "Rorie/Rory Dall" (Blind Rory); one was Roderick Morrison (the more Scottish of the two), while the other was Irish-born Ruaidhrí Dall Ó Catháin, who toured extensively in both Scotland and Ireland (see note for his composition "annotation:Give Me Your Hand"). There are other "Port Rorie Dall's" or "Rorie Dall's Port" tunes.
