Title

Roderick MacKay

Description

Roderick Mackay of Illeray (1872-1949). Invalided out of the Cameron Highlanders in WW1 he turned his hand to many jobs. As with others, his poetry is noted for the richness of vocabulary, elegantly delivered. His work was published as Oiteagan à Tìr nan Og (1938) for the Uist & Barra Association and, fittingly, his song of tribute to Comunn Uibhist agus Bharraidh is one of his most popular songs.
