Bàrd Taobh Loch Èite: Iain MacChaluim/ Celebrating a lesser-known Gaelic bard: John MacCalum

Iain MacChaluim as he was known in his native Gaelic language or John MacCalum in English, born in 1851 and from Muc Càrna or Taynuilt in Earra-Ghàidheal/ Argyll, was a folklorist, bard, composer and Gaelic activist, but most of his songs aren’t so well known. So I decided to sing one of them on “An Là”, the news on BBC ALBA (14/04/25).
