Fhuair am baile an t-ainm a chionns gu robh a shinn-sheanair a’ sabaid anns a’ bhatal ainmeil sin agus choinnich e ris a’ bhean sa Spainn. Ged a sgrìobh an Dòmhnallach mu iomadh chuspair `s ann airson bàrdachd a chogaidh mhòir as fhèarr a tha cuimhne air. Tha a’ bhàrdachd Òran Arras a tha mu dheidhinn daoine a’ caismeachd gu bàs nas neartaile leis cho simplidh `s a tha i air a sgrìobhadh ach `s e an t-òran gaoil gun bhuannachd An Eala Bhàn an t-òran à Uibhist a Tuath as measail aig daoine chun an latha an-diugh.

Sgrìobh a cho-ogha Dòmhnall Ailean Dòmhnallach an t-òran gaoil as cliùtich à Uibhist a Deas Gruagach Òg an Fhuilt Bhàin) One of the most famous is ‘Red’ Donald MacDonald (1887-1967) distinguished from others of the same name by the designation ‘of Coruna’. The name was given to his township because his great grandfather had fought in the famous battle and met his wife in Spain. Although MacDonald composed on many subjects, he is particularly remembered for his WW1 poetry. The poem Oran Arras describing men marching to their deaths is all the more powerful for its apparent simplicity but his song of unrequited love The White Swan is arguably the most popular North Uist song to this day. See Dòmhnall Ruadh Chorùna (CEUT 1995). (His cousin Donald Allan MacDonald composed South Uist’s most famous love song Gruagach Òg an Fhuilt Bhàin) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 9 July 1887 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource eulac3d Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived bard Europeana Specific elements of the Europeana Semantic Elements.
