Talk:Duan Albanach

Untitled
Not sure if something like this could be implemented in the article at all - and if it were, it would require a far better effort than mine - but ive had a shot at translating the first quoted part from the Old Gaelic to modern Scottish Gaelic. Itd be nice to have the modern Irish ( im sure theres already a translation in that language somewhere) and Scottish versions of the Duan Albanach available for comparison. An Siarach

A eolaiche Alba uile,

A shluagh ealanta falt-bhuidhe,

De 'n ciad ionnsaigh, a eolaich sibh,

A ghabh tìr Alba?

Albanus a ghabh è, is iomadach a sluaigh,

Mac òirdheirc Isicon,

Bràthair aig Brutus gun breug,

'O esan tha Alba air ainmeachadh.

Transwiki?
Might this work better on Wikisource, perhaps? Le Deluge (talk) 19:11, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Date?
Do we have any indication of when it was written? 10th, 11th, 12th century? Would be nice to include approx date (with ref) in the article. --Mais oui! (talk) 09:01, 4 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, it was written during the reign of Mael Coluim III. If I remember I'll put in a ref next time I get access to the relevant books. Deacon of Pndapetzim ( Talk ) 14:30, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
