_281 Iain Mac Fhearchair "Anns an ochdamh linn deug, bha Iain MacCodruim (a bha aithnichte airson eirmseachd) air fear dha na b\u00e0ird-cinnidh mu dheireadh le c\u00f9l-taic bho Sir Seumas MacDh\u00f2mhnaill, ceann-cinnidh Clann D\u00f2mhnaill Shl\u00e8ibhte. Chaidh leabhar ioma-chuimseach dha bh\u00e0rdachd The Songs of John MacCodrum (Sc. Gaelic Texts Society 1938) a chl\u00e0radh air eadar-theangachadh leis an t-Urramach Uilleam MacMhathainn. Chan e a-mh\u00e0in gun do bhrosnaich MacCodruim b\u00e0ird a th\u00e0inig as a dh\u00e8idh ann an Uibhist a Tuath agus Deas ach \u2019s e a rinn cinnteach gu robh cuid de f\u00ecor bh\u00e0rdach Oiseanach air an gl\u00e8idheadh a-staigh dhan fhicheadamh linn.\r\n\r\nIn the 18th century, John MacCodrum (famous for his quickness of wit) became one of the last clan bards thanks to the patronage of Sir James MacDonald, chief of Clan Donald of Sleat. A comprehensive volume of his work The Songs of John MacCodrum (Sc. Gaelic Texts Society 1938) was published with translations by the Rev William Matheson. MacCodrum not only proved a source of inspiration to many of his successors throughout both North and South Uist but was also instrumental in their preserving a number of authentic Ossianic ballads into the 20th century." eulac3d Organisation image/jpeg IMAGE "Anns an ochdamh linn deug, bha Iain MacCodruim (a bha aithnichte airson eirmseachd) air fear dha na b\u00e0ird-cinnidh mu dheireadh le c\u00f9l-taic bho Sir Seumas MacDh\u00f2mhnaill, ceann-cinnidh Clann D\u00f2mhnaill Shl\u00e8ibhte.
