The Melbost Bard wrote this song after his nephew moved to Tong from Melbost. He missed him greatly. The verses here convey the happiness that he brought him and how life seemed empty without him closeby. The bard, in his own inimitable way, makes links to the politics of the day, pleading to those in power to change their ways to allow for a peaceful, safer future.

Till

Thug iad a Thung thu

An Iarran Mònach by John 'Seonaidh Beag' Macmillan. 

This song describes a conversation between the bàrd and a peat iron who laments the decline of the peat-cutting tradition
