No Gaelic on this one - apart from some of the placenames. The poem was written some years ago by a man called Sigerson Clifford. I'll get hold of a copy and check your transcription - but most of it looks fine.

Regards

p.s. Heard someone singing the short version at a session last night. I prefer the full tragedy. Any thoughts?
