Let’s not be too hasty. Not all dancing on graves is what it might seem.
Alasdair Mac Colla Chiotaich MacDhòmhnail (Collkitto) was a Scottish mercenary
who was killed at the the battle of battle of Cnoc na nOs in 1657.
His death is memorialized in the slow air Gol na mBan san Ar.
The story tells of his wife not being allowed to caoine at his
funeral expressing her grief instead by dancing a jig at his grave.
The Church Hill Jig (Cnoc an Teampall)is the tune that the
piper Mici Cumba Ó Súilleabháin plays at the end of Gol na mBan san Ar.
