Dùn Eideann ann am beatha is bàrdachd Shomhairle MhicGill-Eain.

Dùn Eideann ann am beatha is bàrdachd Shomhairle MhicGill-Eain. Gaelic poet Sorley MacLean's relationship with Edinburgh, where he wrote some of his finest poems.

Dùn Èideann ann am beatha is bàrdachd Shomhairle MhicGill-Eain.
Bha Somhairle MacGill-Eain na oileanach is na fhear-teagaisg ann an Dùn Èideann agus 's ann sa bhaile sin a sgrìobh e feadhainn de na dàin as cumhachdaiche a rinn e. Cha do sgrìobh e mòran na bhàrdachd mun bhaile fhèin ge-tà. Carson? Dè a bha Dùn Èideann a' ciallachadh dhà agus dè an t-aìte a tha aig MacGill-Eain ann an saoghal litreachais sa bhaile an-diugh ? Tha Pàdraig MacAoidh a' rannsachadh.
Some of Gaelic poet Sorley MacLean's finest poems were written in Edinburgh. MacLean studied at the University and later taught at Boroughmuir High School so why does the city of Edinburgh appear so rarely in his poetry? Intrigued by this Peter Mackay goes in search of some answers.
