Giolla Críost Brúilingeach
Giolla Críost Brúilingeach (fl. 1440[1]) was a noted Scottish harper and poets. He was mentioned in the Book of the Dean of Lismore,[1] which possibly identifies him with Leim of Gigha,[1][2] and with the MacBhreatnaigh (Galbraiths) of that island.[1][2]
His poetry includes Scottish and Irish subjects, including one to Conochobar Óg MacDiarmada of Moylurg (1458), a chief in Connacht, requesting a new harp as a fee.[1]
