Baile nam Bàrd
The learned bardic traditions of Clann Mhuirich (Currie) are rising again. The ancient dwelling of the bards of Clan Ranald in Stilligarry, South Uist is now commemorated and the family have elected a new Family Commander, Robert Currie, Raibeart MacMhuirich. This song is in praise of the old bardic traditions and the regeneration of the bardic family under the stewardship of Raibeart MacMhuirich. This song is dedicated to Raibeart MacMhuirich and all of Clann Mhuirich.

Tha baile nam bàrd a’ dùsgadh a-rithist
Dèidh bhith còmhdaicht’ fad linntean an duibhre na h-oidhch’
Ach thèid thu ’s do ghràdh a Stadhlaigearraidh shìos
Far am b’ eòlach na bàird air na duain is na dàin



B’ e Muraidheach O’Dalaidh a ghin dhuinn na bàird
Fear a dh’imprig à Èirinn ’s a thog bratach an àird
Filidh nan Tighearnan; siud am fear a bha,
’S a shliochd ’s iad nam bàird ann an dùthaich Chlann Ràghnaill

Clann Mhuirich a dh’fhuirich toirt luaidh ann an dàin
Uaislean na bàrdachd a’ snaidheadh dhaibh an càrn
’S ged fhada bhon chualas bho Niall Mòr nan rann
Tha a mhac-talla ri chluinntinn an cluasan an Clann.

The place of the bard, hidden for generations,
is to be reawakened from the darkness of the night,
So go down to Stilligarry with your love
Where the songs and poems of the Bards  were once known
  
Muraidheach O’ Dalaidh was the first of the Bards
one who came from Ireland and lifted his standard
a poet to the Chiefs; it was him
and his offspring, poets in the land of the Lord of the Isles
 

Clann Mhuirich who stayed praised with their songs;
The poetic nobility who sculpted with the poems
And though Niall Mòr is no longer heard
The echo of his work is to be found in his kin.
