Tha mi a' lorg tuilleadh den stuth aice nach eil ri fhaighinn gu furasta air Tobar an Dualchais. Ma tha fios aig duine sam bith, no ma tha ceanglaichean agaibh ri tasglannan Sabhal Mòr Ostaig no Sgoil Eòlais na h-Alba, bu mhath leam cluinntinn bhuibh.

Tapadh leibh.

A bheil duine sam bith ann aig a bheil eòlas domhainn air obair Iseabail Siosal (Isabella Chisholm)?

Bha i na bana-luchd-siubhail à Srath Ghlais a chaidh a chlàradh le Sgoil Eòlais na h-Alba (School of Scottish Studies) sna 1950an le Hamish Henderson. Bha beairteas iongantach aice de dh'òrain, sgeulachdan, agus gu h-àraidh mallachdan is rùinan anns a' Ghàidhlig agus sa Cheathramh (Cant).

Ultimately, it was borrowed into English and became 'hamlet'.
