Here he recites the words of his own Gaelic song for the pupils of Sgoil Ch\u00e0irinis, which his mother attended as a girl." Rendition "Master raconteur Norman Maclean tells the spine-tingling Gaelic tale of \u00c0iridh na h-Aon Oidhche, a local landmark out near Rueval in Benbecula, and reveals how it got its name." Rendition "Norman Maclean tells the story in Gaelic of the Battle of Carinish in 1601 and brings it right up to date with references to current singers who still mine this rich cultural heritage."
