Frances Tolmie

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.MacLeod, Morag (2007) 'Collectors of Gaelic Song' ann an A Compendium of Scottish Ethnology Volume 10: Oral Literature and Performance Culture John Beech et al.

 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. Nicolson, A.W. 'Look Out For New Book' ann an The Clarion of Skye Issue 18, July 1952. d. 5.

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.  

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