Notes on Gaelic Titles
An Co-aontachadh A’n Comunn / The Union of Scotland with England D2; The Union Dj; Molluch na Piperin / The Union of Scotland with England G; An Co-aontachadh / Lament for the Union K3; Cumha an Aonachd JK. The Lament for the Union. There is no ‘lament’ in the earliest sources. Probably the vernacular term was simply ‘The Union’ for which we are given three Gaelic prototypes. Even today ‘The Union’ (when not ‘The Onion’ ) is the usual unofficial name. Any elaboration in Gaelic, would have been even less diplomatic, to judge from the subtitle added by MacLeod of Gesto.
An Comann. The Union.
Cumha an Aonachd. Lament for the Union.
Mallachd nam pìobairean Molluch na Piperin / The Union of Scotland with England G. The Pipers’ Curse. Dwelly notes that there is a ‘Northern form’ mollachd of the word more usually found as mallachd.
