About the session: A note inside the tape box for 3383 credits the songs by Duncan MacDonald, nephew of MacCuish, as being sung at the Daliburgh home of a Dr. MacLean on the 23rd, though there is no mention of this location in Lomax's journal. The date of 25 June is assumed from notes in that journal.
