 Winning the Mòd gold medal was (and is) regarded as the highest singing award in Scottish Gaeldom, and "Mairi's Wedding" was composed to recognise this achievement.A track of Mary C. MacNiven singing her winning song at the 1934 Mòd is still available and the Mod has founded a memorial salver competition to honour her name.Her wedding did not in fact take place until some six years later when she married Captain John Campbell of Glendale, Skye.
