Bannatyne manuscript

Was the Bannatyne manuscript that is referenced to within the article ever published? I think that if it was viewable on-line somewhere it could really add to the article. It was supposedly written by William MacLeod Bannatyne in the 1830s. Googling the term really only turns up the 1500s 'Bannatyne manuscript' written by George Bannatyne; and 19th century versions of it are viewable on GoogleBooks. I suspect the section "Traditional account from a manuscript dating to c.1800" deals with the 1830s Bannatyne manuscript, but unfortunately F.T. MacLeod didn't say that specifically in his article—he only said that that manuscript was quoting was written in about 1800.--Celtus (talk) 08:39, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Fairy Flag

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Fairy Flag's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "morrison":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 10:31, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
