Manran
SCOTTISH trad rock band Mànran are celebrating the work of Scotland’s earliest poet laureate, Iain Lom MacDonald from Lochaber, with their new single Là Inbhir Lòchaidh (‘The Battle of Inverlochy’), writes Harry McArthur.
Iain Lom, which translates from Gaelic as ‘Iain the bald’, lived at Allt a’ Chaorainn near Laggan Dam amid the turbulence of the 17th century.
