ONE DAY AS I TRAVELLED THE MOOR (Latha siubhail sleibh dhomh). AKA – "To his love whom he had kissed against her will." Scottish, Air (whole time). E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. The melody, under its Scots Gaelic title, was collected by Patrick McDonald, Minister of Kilmore in Argyleshire. John Glen (Early Scottish Melodies, 1900) finds similarities between this tune and "John o' Badenyond."
