Tha Frances Tolmie (1840-1926) ainmeil airson nan cruinneachaidhean de dh'òrain Ghàidhlig a rinn i. B' i a' chiad neach-cruinneachaidh nach do dh'fheuch na h-òrain a 'leasachadh' nuair a dh'fhoillsich i iad, ach a thug iomradh orra mar a chuala i iad.^[1]

A beatha

Rugadh i ann an 1840 ann an Uiginis, an t-Eilean Sgitheanach. B' e athair John Tolmie, fear-baile no gabhaltach ann an Uiginis. Tha beul-aithris air an Eilean ag innse gur e Lochlannaich a bh' anns na Tolmie agus gun do thog iad Caisteal Dhùin Thuilm.^[2]

Chuir i seachad a beatha le a bràthair ann an Sròn an t-Sìthein agus an uair sin ann an Bracadal bho 1856 nuair a chaidh a bràthair a ghairm dhan eaglais an sin.

A h-obair

Bha Gàidhlig aice agus bha comas aice ceòl a sgrìobhadh agus a leughadh. ^[1]

Mar nighean òg, rinn i obair airson a' Bhana-mhaighstir NicLeòid Dhùn Bheagan, a' fighe stocainnean do shaighdearan anns a' Chogadh Crimea. ^[1] B' ann aig an àm sin a thòisich i òrain a chruinneachadh bho a teaghlach fhèin agus a coimhearsnachd.^[1] Thug i na h-òrain dhan English Folksong Society a dh'fhoillsich iad ann an 1911.^[1] Thug i òrain cuideachd do Keith Norman MacDonald agus tha 130 òrain anns a' Gesto Collection a dh'fhoillsich e.^[1]
