N. Uillem Nèill [r.1922] : ainmichte air sgàth 's gun sgrìobh e ann an trì teangannan: Albais, Beurla is Gàidhlig. Tha geurnàdair aige na obair, car coltach ri eirmiseachd Rob Dhuinn. O. Teaghlach O Muirgheasain : sann o seo a thig an sloinneadh 'Moireasdan.' B' iad seo teaghlach a bha nam bàird dualchasach o linn bu linn. Ann an Eirinn se Bryson a chanar riutha. P. Am Pìobaire Dall [Iain MacAoidh, r.1656] : Pìobaire a Geàrrloch a bha cuideachd na bhàrd: is dòcha gur e Cumha Choire an Easain aon dhe na dàin as ainmeile aige. B' i a nighean màthair a' bhàird a leanas. R. Uilleam Ros [r.18mh linn san Eilean Sgiathanach]: se as mò thug cliù dha Uilleam bochd an gaol aige air Mòr Ros à Steòrnabhagh. Bha e dona leis, tha e coltach: chaochail e aig aois òg. Bha buaidh shònraichte aige air bhàrd a leanas air sgàth ceòlmhorachd is liriceachd a chuid bàrdachd. Tha ceangal aige ri Cunndainn nar dùthaich-ne. S. Somhairle MacIlleathain [r.1911] : am fear ainmeil uasal iriosal a Ràtharsair mhòr nan Leòdach - bidh cuimhe gu bràth air ri linn na rinn e gus bàrdachd Ghàidhlig athbheothachadh tro ìomhaigheachd soilleir is cruaidh-aigne. Car coltach ri Mac Mhaighstir Alasdair, chuir e feum air na bh' ann de dhiofar ìrean de Ghàidhlig. 's aig an aon àm a' dèanamh rathaid rèidh do bhàird ùra. Thug e spionnadh cuideachd do thuigse na seann bhàrdachd Gàidhlige. T. Ruairidh MacThòmais [r.1921] : mas e Iain Mac a' Ghobhainn fear nan sgeulachdan goirid, tha fhios gur h-e an t-Oll. Ruairidh MacThòmais am bàrd as fheàrr a chumas ceann na maide ris. Tha e air tòrr chruinneachaidhean dhàn fhoillseachadh, 's tha gaol is geurad is blàth-chainnt daonndail daonnan an làthair na obair. Sgrìobh e mu Leòdhas, a dhachaidh: agus mun bhaile ur aige, Glaschu. Bàrd dhar linne - ach bàrd blàth mothachail a bharrachd.   U. Uilleam Ruigh 'n Uighe [Uilleam Mac a' Ghobhainn, r.tràth san 19mh linn?] : bàrd a rinn òran mun obair-sealgaireachd a chòrd ris aig Allt an Lochain Uaine ann an Strath Spè. Tha beul-aithris ag ràdha gun d' rinn e 'n t-òran goirid mus deach e shabaid sna h-Innseachan.

N. Uillem Nèill [William Neill, b.1922] : best known for his ability to write poetry in three tongues: Scots, English and Gaelic. Writes with a fine acid wit, somewhat similar to the cynicism of Rob Donn. O. O'Muirgheasain family : the name from which Morrison is derived, these were known as a hereditary poet-family. In Ireland they are known as Bryson. P. Am Pìobaire Dall [The Blind Piper, John Mackay, b.1656] : this Gairloch-born piper was also a poet, with perhaps Cumha Choire an Easain [Lament for Corrienessan] being one of his most famous compositions. His daughter was the mother of our next poet. R. Uilleam Ros [ William Ross, b. Skye, c.18th] : most famed for his seemingly tortuous love-affair with one Mor Ross of Stornoway, this poet, who died tragically young, has been quoted as being a major influence on the following poet by virtue of his lyrical and musical qualities. A traditional story connects the bard with Contin. S. Somhairle MacIlleathain [Sorley Maclean, b.1911] : this humble but talented man of Raasay will be remembered forever for having dragged Gaelic poetry out of its Celtic Mists and into the modern age of incisive thought and solid imagery. Utilising, much as Mac Mhaighstir Alasdair did, all the various registers of Gaelic, he formed a diction which opened the door for modern Gaelic poets, and his cross- fertilization techniques have modernised both his own work and the poetry of former ages. T. Ruaridh MacThòmais [Derick thomson, b.1921] : if Chriton Smith is the renowned producer of short soties, then this active and learned professor-poet must match him as regards poetry. his many collections, whether satirical or celebratory, display an almost magical use of intimate and friendly dialogue. Quit reflections of his home island, Lewis, and observations of his new poetical "village", Glasgow, leave the reader with a feeling of warmth and humanity which is always present, no matter what his subject marelial. A major voice - and a sensitive one. U. Uilleam Ruigh 'n Uighe [William Gow, b.early c.19?] : Author of a poem enumerating the delights of stalking at Allt an Lochain Uaine [the Stream of the Green Lochan]. In Strathspey tradition, he composed the song before going off to war in the Indies.
