For an engrossing, detailed history of Ruaraidh Dall Mac Ghille Mhoire, the Blind Harper, I suggest you try to somehow obtain the following book:The Blind Harper / An Clarsair Dall
The Songs of Roderick Morison (yes, one "r")
and his Music
Published: 1970
Author: William Matheson
Publisher: The Scottish Gaelic Texts Society
265pp
Not only does this book detail the intricacies of the Gaelic poetry and music of the Harper, but it digs deeply into the genealogy of the chiefly line of Na Britheamhnan (The Brieves), and of the clan as a whole. If you would like more information, please feel free to e-mail me off-list.
