’S e ‘Hallaig’ dàn nam mìos seo. Tha an dàn drùidhteach, lèirsinneach seo mu dheidhinn Hallaig, fear de na bailtean a chaidh fhuadach ann an Ratharsair. Chaidh a sgrìobhadh le Somhairle MacGill-Eain an 1952, agus chaidh fhoillseachadh an toiseach ann an Gairm an 1954.  Seo an dàn is dòcha as eòlaiche air a bheil daoine a-mach às a’ bhàrdachd aig Somhairle MacGill-Eain air fad. An 2002 dh’ fhoillsich Urras Shomhairle eadar-theangachadh de ‘Hallaig’ leis a’ bhàrd Èireannach a choisinn Duais Nobel, Seamus Heaney

This intense and visionary poem is about Hallaig, one of the cleared townships on Raasay. It was composed by Sorley MacLean in 1952, and was first published in Gairm in 1954. The poem is perhaps the best known of Sorley MacLean’s work, and a translation of ‘Hallaig’ by Irish Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney was published by Urras Shomhairle in 2002.
