In the 15th century, the two tongues were in bitter rivalry. The poet Dunbar conjures a picture of hell in his Dance of the Seven Deadly Sins. Finding it packed with ragged Gaels, the Devil calls for a Hieland pageant. The Highlanders deafen him with Gaelic, so he puts them in the deepest pit in hell and 'smoorits' them! After five centuries, a poetic reconciliation. Angus Peter is joined by the Scots translator, the scholar J Derrick McClure of Aberdeen University who will read Angus Peter's poems in Scots. Aonghas Padraig, a native of South Uist, was introduced to literature by his teacher, the late Ian Crichton Smith. Encouragement was also given by the late Sorley MacLean. A career in journalism followed. He is now a prominent writer and broadcaster. He is a longtime Skye resident and had an impressive debut in 2007, as lead actor, in Seachd, the first-ever Gaelic-language feature film.<p><small>Date: 16\/07\/07<br\/><\/small><small>Start Time: 7.30 pm<br\/><\/small><small>Venue: Armadale Castle, Somerled Rooms<br\/><\/small><small>Audience Numbers: 0<br\/><\/small><small>Type: Talks and Literature<br\/><\/small><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1212","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1212","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1212"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1212\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sleat.openvirtualworlds.org\/wordpress\/seall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
