51547: The Uig Chessmen
A poem about the Uig Chessmen, by Calum Maclean, Conon Bridge. From Donald Macdonald’s Tales and Traditions of the Lews.
Na Fir-Tàilisg
Bha sinn sàmhach fon an tom
Gus na lorg bò na h-adhairc sinn
Tha sinn a-nis fada thall
Nar call aig Eilean Leòdhais
‘S gur call do Eilean Leòdhais e
Rìghrean, ridirean, easbuig ‘s ban-righ
‘S gillean beag n am pàin
‘S gur mòr an call a Leòdhas
Calum Macilleathainn, Drochaid Sguideil
