Chaidh leabhar ioma-chuimseach dha bhàrdachd The Songs of John MacCodrum (Sc. Gaelic Texts Society 1938) a chlàradh air eadar-theangachadh leis an t-Urramach Uilleam MacMhathainn. Chan e a-mhàin gun do bhrosnaich MacCodruim bàird a thàinig as a dhèidh ann an Uibhist a Tuath agus Deas ach ’s e a rinn cinnteach gu robh cuid de fìor bhàrdach Oiseanach air an glèidheadh a-staigh dhan fhicheadamh linn. In 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.
