MORE N'IGHEAN GHIBERLAIN. AKA - "Mòr nighean a' ghiobarlain." AKA and see "Gaberlunzie's Daughter (The)." Scottish, Air (4/4 time). G Mixolydian: A Minor (MacDonald). Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. Appears in one of James Oswald's 1742 collections entitled Curious Scots Tunes. The song (with tune) was also collected by Elizabeth Jane Ross (1789-1875) from singers on the island of Raasay around 1812, and appears in her manuscript collection [1]. Ross played the piano and the harp, and reportedly was an excellent amateur musician. As a ward of Lord Moira, she traveled to India with her sister, where she married Sir Charles D'Oyly, baronet, who worked for the East India Company. He was a talented painter, and their home at Patna in Bihar became a focal point of artistic activity for the expatriate community.
