The Little Letter for Gaelic Learners show

Summary: We were taking a wee look at the poetry of Rob Donn last week. Rob was a Gaelic bard in the Mackay Country in the Eighteenth Century. He never spoke English. He wasn’t highly educated either. This week, Ruairidh is going to have a wee look at a poem he wrote. It’s about the environment – particularly in the Mackay Country. Accompanying text in both English and Gaelic can be found at http://www.bbc.co.uk/litirbheag.
