Thread Name: Mingulay Boat Song again
Subject: RE: Mingulay Boat Song again
George, as promised, the poem The Eemis Stane by Hugh MacDiarmid. I hope I'm not deviating too far from the thread but to clarify: The Eemis Stane translates into Gaelic as Creag Guanach which is the title not only of a poem by D McDonald but the alternative title to the pipe tune 'The hawk that swoops on high' which is the same melody as the Mingulay Boat Song!!!
