6. A Spot of Culture:More on Birlinns

Here we have an old poem of the Clan Ranald Birlinn. Clan Ranald was one of the better chiefs, as time went on. He lived in South Uist, and the heroine, Flora Macdonald was related to him. There is a monument to her in Kilmartin, South Uist. On the second page, we have a mention of MacCormick. Nice to see the family. MacIan was the sept of the Macdonalds otherwise known as the MacDonalds of Glencoe, who are, by the way, all descended from a single Viking.
