Hi Frances, I was waiting for someone more qualified to reply because my gaelic is very rudimentary. However, until they do, here is my guess: "Remember your father: Donald Sutherland born at Brora in the Shire of Sutherland, and on the twelth of the month of May, 1863" It seems to be a book of poetry written by Thomas Sutherland.

This is a recycled query, originally sent to the Nova Scotia List (1998). Title Details: Cumha d'athair: Domhnull Sutherlan a bh'ann am Brora an Siorrachd Chatabh, agus a dh'eug sa' mhios Mhaigh 1863. Does anyone on the SUT list have the Gaelic? I would dearly love to know how this title translates into English. During a visit to the National Library of Scotland (on holiday from Canada), my husband and I found reference in the Sutherland Estate Papers to a Donald Sutherland who was a water bailiff at Brora, County Sutherland (sorry, I have no other details). I wonder if there could be any connection between this man and the man in the book's title. I will be grateful for any help at all with this one. This title is held by Glasgow University. The citation given on the excellent COPAC web site for UK university libraries is "Main Library; Celtic, JG120, SUT; No 1 of 8 pamphlets bound together". The COPAC web site (university research libraries in the UK and Ireland) for searches by author/title, periodical and subject is at http://copac.ac.uk/copac Does anyone know of a Canadian library source for this publication?
