Why read it?
1 author picked Hallaig and Other Poems as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
There are several Scottish writers with strong Gaelic connections. They range from the likes of Iain Crichton Smith to Norman MacCaig and thriller writer Alistair Maclean.
The most powerful of all, however, is Sorley Maclean from Raasay which lies off the isle of Skye. In his writing, he is not parochial or insular but mingles matters like the Spanish Civil War with Hebridean life – one of the poets to whom I return again and again.
From Donald's list on Scottish Highlands and Islands.
