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]
