Mairi MacLeod talks about poetry’s ability to transport you back in time. She reads the poem “An t-Seann Dachaigh” by Elizabeth Sutherland which takes her back to her childhood in Skye and her memories of the oil lamps and peat fires in the houses.

Màiri NicLeòid le iomradh air mar a thilleas bàrdachd sinn gu làithean a dh’fhalbh. Tha i a’ leughadh “An t-Seann Dachaigh” le Ealasaid Shutharlanach, a tha a’ toirt gu a cuimhne a h-òige san Eilean Sgitheanach, le lampaichean ola sna taighean.
