Lasaidh uinneagan ann an dorchadas na h-oidhche le solas aognaidh sgileanan-coimpiutair, lon-sionnachain le smuaintean glacte na mhogall na shneadh gu grinn thar nan garbh-chrochan bho Lirabhaig sa cheann a tuath, Unst is Whalsay, gu Dn Omhain sa cheann a deas, is Ceann Loch Chille Chiarain, bho Eilginn san ird an ear, Baile Cheith is Bucaidh, s siar gu Ledhas, Beinn a Bhadhla is Barraigh. Agus gun tighinn faisg air ar cladaichean gbhaidh len geodhachan is groban, stacannan is sgeirean, togar guthannan simhe san deasbad air loidhne sna Stitean, san t-Seapan, sa Ghearmailt. II Chanadh gun do las Calum Cille an taobh tuath le chuid elais air Sgriobtair, air a mhuir s a ghealaich, le soilleireachadh lmh-sgrobhainnean is seinn nan salm sna manachainnean sgapte am fsach a chuain agus air taobh thall Dhruim Albainn, am Monadh Musga is Dir. Feumaidh gun robh sgoiltean aig na Cruithnich, luchd-snaighidh shlatan tulchlaonach lbach, sgoil far an roinnte orra na cumaidhean riaghailteach de chearcallan, sgthanan, de chorrain is crean, far an ionnsaichte ogham is ptranan snomhach. Tha foghlam nan Lochlannach an Alba cuideachd air dhol fodha ann an cnan, air a chall ann an tm, ach bha goibhnean a dhanadh armachd is seudraidh, luchd-danamh brdachd, bhtaichean is shel. Bha beachd math aig Rognvaldr Kali Kolsson air fhin: S aithne dhomhsa naoi sgilean: cluichidh mi gu math aig tileasg, is tearc a bhios rn a dhth orm, n mi leughadh s n mi goibhneachd, sibhlaidh mi an sneachd air sgithean, togaidh mi rmh is togaidh mi bogha, tha alt agam air an d ealain: laoidh a bhird is fonn a chlrsair. Agus ri Linn an igh aig Roghachd nan Eilean, bha sgoil bhrdachd aig Clann Mhic Mhuirich an Uibhist, sgoil leighis aig Clann Mhic Bheatha am Muile far an leughte Avicenna, Hippocrates is Galen, is aig na Moireasdanaich an Nis bha sgoil lagha. Thinig elaichean air an tarraing irinn: thinig Brolchin is Cuinn a-nall a dhIdhe gus duilleagan iathadh mu stoc nan crann-ceusaidh, chluich Seanog a chlrsach an Cinn Tre, thinig C Chulainn fhin airson stiireadh stripe. Agus c aig tha fios an sgrdadh a ghealach an tursachan mrdhalach Chalanais is Arcaibh, no ciamar a sgeadaicheadh na buill shnaighte a lorgadh an Skara Brae lem ptrannan eangach, no cit an aithriseadh na draoidhean an cuid ealain? III Tha uiread air chall den ghreadhnachas ghrinn a th air dol gu cl an airc is ainnis, ach s na creagan aost leumaidh lusan r, s an toll sgiathaichidh am fachach. iridh am fonn le faochadh bhon deigh, is an sluagh a faighinn thairis air na bliadhnachan a theich na tapaidh gu deas is iad a fgail na tre gun aigne. IV Bidh sinn a toirt sil air na beanntan s coilltean is sinn a merachadh air adhbhar is buaidhean is air a mhuir airgeadach a shneas mun domhan, dreach mar an fheadhainn, is cleite nan lmhan, a bheireadh sil doras cille ach am faiceadh iad a ghrian no birlinn a tighinn. Bhsaich cuid ac gu ciin, chaidh cuid eile a mhurt, bha cuid aca aonaranach gun stiir no il is an inntinn ro mhr airson cuingead an l. Bha aig a mhinistear, Cailean Caimbeul an ird Chatain, ri sgrobhadh ann an Laidinn gu Sir Isaac Newton, is e gun chothrom deasbaid air matamataigs is reul-elas. is chuir an t-str s dhan chlachair Hugh Miller nuair a dhfhairtlich air, is e na aonar an Cromba, Genesis is fosailean na trghad a thoirt cmhla. Ach tha leabharlann an seo, fiosaigeach is didseatach, deagh ghean na Prlamaid ar cuid fhin a shealbhachadh, is morbhail an eadar-ln gus ar cmhraidhean a leudachadh. Ged a sgapas cuairteagan ar beatha sa ghainmhich, lasaidh an taobh tuath uair eile is na fir-chlis a dannsadh os cionn ar smuaintean. NOTAICHEAN Tha an tiotal stidhichte air Lassais tr tuath, sreath s a mharbhrann Amra Choluimb Chille a rinn Dalln Forgaill an 597. Tha mi airson taing a thoirt dha mo chompanaich air feadh OGE, agus gu h-raidh do Alison Hay a dhiarr an dn orm, agus do Donna Heddle a thug an earrann s an Orkneyinga saga dham aire, air a h-eadar-theangachadh le Jacqueline Simpson. Mo thaing cuideachd do Neil Campbell, Iain Mac an Tilleir , Mire N Annrachin agus Justin Bateman. LET THE NORTHERN LAND SHINE A poem for the inauguration of the University of the Highlands and Islands, 2011 I The university looks like a chart of the stars, thirteen constellations spangling the land of colleges with their planets in room and hut, scattered over islands, folded into glens. Windows shine in the dark of the night with the ghostly glow of computer screens, a phosphorescent net with a catch of thought holds the craggy land in its mesh, from Lerwick in the north, Whalsay and Unst, to Dunoon in the south and Campbeltown beyond, from Elgin, Buckie and Keith in the east, to Lewis and Uist, Benbecula and Barra. Yet without approaching these wave-pounded coasts with their cliffs and gloups, their skerries and stacks, serene voices enter the debate online in America, Germany, Japan. II It was said St Columba made the northern land shine, with his understanding of Scripture, of tides and moon, the illumination of manuscripts and singing of psalms in monasteries perched in the desert of the ocean and thrust beyond Drumalban, in Monymusk and Deer. The Picts, carvers of bent rods and zigzags, of discs and crescents, combs, and mirrors, must have had schools to share their templates of symbols and beasts, to teach ogham and to plan their intricate, whirling designs. The learning of the Norse in Scotland has gone, lost in language, overtaken by change, yet they trained smiths to make jewellery and arms, tailors, sail-makers, skalds and wrights. Rognvaldr Kali Kolsson was educated well: There are nine skills known to me: At tables I play ably, Rarely do I run out of runes, Reading, smith-craft, both come ready. I can skim the ground on skis, Wield a bow, do well in rowing, To both arts I can bend my mind Poet's lay and harper's playing." In the golden peace of the Lordship of the Isles MacMhuirich poets kept a school in Uist, Beaton doctors had a school in Mull where Avicenna, Hippocrates and Galen were read, and Morrison breves taught the law in Ness. Experts came over drawn from Ireland: Brolchin and Cuinn came to Iona to twine winding foliage round the high crosses, Seanog played on the harp in Kintyre, C Chulainn himself came for martial training. And who knows if the great stone circles of Callanish and Orkney were lunar labs, or how the geometry was worked out of the carved stone balls at Skara Brae, or in what groves the druids rehearsed their arts? III So much has been lost of the learning of the past, forgotten through spite and abjection, but from fractured rocks fresh flowers will blow, and puffins fly from the fissures. The land heaves a sigh from the weight of the ice, the population begins to recover from the years the youth would make for the south, the place robbed of their hopeful spirit. IV We look out on hills and woods while contemplating cause and effect and the sea stretching silver around the globe, just as those others, with quill in hand, would pause and peer from corbelled hut to delight in the sunlight, the arrival of ships. Some died serene, some were murdered, some grew lonely, lacking books and guidance, their minds vast in the narrowness of their days. Rev. Colin Campbell, minister of Ardchattan, would write in Latin to Sir Isaac Newton for a chance to discuss astronomy and maths, and his struggle killed the mason Hugh Miller who tried by himself over in Cromarty to make Genesis agree with the fossils on the beach. But now there are libraries, real and virtual, the goodwill of the Parliament to own our own, and the internet to open our conversations wide. Though the tides brush out our ripples in the sand, the northern land again will shine with the aurora dancing above our thought. NOTAICHEAN The title is based on Lassais tr tath, a line from an elegy for St Columba, Amra Choluimb Chille, composed by Dalln Forgaill in 597. My thanks to my colleagues all over Ķvlog, and especially to Alison Hay who asked me for the poem and to Donna Heddle who suggested the excerpt from the Orkneyinga saga, translated here by Jacqueline Simpson.
