  • Sorley MacLean (en gaèlic escocès: Somhairle MacGill-Eain, o bé "MacGilleathain") (Raasay, 26 d'octubre de 1911 - 24 de novembre de 1996) fou un poeta escocès, un dels més significatius del país al segle xx.Nasqué a a l'illa de Raasay el 26 d'octubre de 1911, on el gaèlic escocès era la llengua més parlada. Estudià a la Universitat d'Edimburg on destacà com a jugador de futbol. Després tornà al Highland i a la seva illa, on treballà com a mestre.Començà a escriure en anglès, però després d'escriure el seu primer poema en gaèlic, An Corra-Ghridheach ("La garsa"), decidí que ho feia millor que en anglès, i a finals dels anys 30 esdevingué el poeta més destacat en aquesta llengua. De jovenet abandonà el presbiterianisme i milità en l'extrema esquerra. Serví al nord d'Àfrica durant la Segona Guerra Mundial i hi fou ferit tres cops, un d'ells de gravetat. Els seus poemes canten el genocidi cultural escocès del segle xix, així com les de Biafra i Ruanda. (ca)
  • Sorley MacLean, ve skotské gaelštině Somhairle MacGill-Eain (26. října 1911 v Osgaig na ostrově Raasay – 24. listopadu 1996 v Inverness), byl jedním z nejvýznamnějších skotských gaelských básníků dvacátého století. Mezi tématy jeho poezie se objevuje láska, trápení, místní příroda – především pohoří Cuillin, ale i témata společenská a politická, jako španělská občanská válka, komunismus a nacionalismus. (cs)

  • Sorley MacLean (Scottish Gaelic: Somhairle MacGill-Eain; 26 October 1911 – 24 November 1996) was a Scottish Gaelic poet, described by the Scottish Poetry Library as "one of the major Scottish poets of the modern era" because of his "mastery of his chosen medium and his engagement with the European poetic tradition and European politics". Nobel Prize Laureate Seamus Heaney credited MacLean with saving Scottish Gaelic poetry. He was raised in a strict Presbyterian family on the island of Raasay, immersed in Gaelic culture and literature from birth, but abandoned religion for socialism. In the late 1930s, he befriended many Scottish Renaissance figures, such as Hugh MacDiarmid and Douglas Young. He was wounded three times while serving in the Royal Corps of Signals during the North African Campaign. MacLean published little after the war, due to his perfectionism. In 1956, he became head teacher at Plockton High School, where he advocated for the use of the Gaelic language in formal education. In his poetry, MacLean juxtaposed traditional Gaelic elements with mainstream European elements, frequently comparing the Highland Clearances with contemporary events, especially the Spanish Civil War. His work was a unique fusion of traditional and modern elements that has been credited with restoring Gaelic tradition to its proper place and reinvigorating and modernizing the Gaelic language. Although his most influential works, Dàin do Eimhir and An Cuilthionn, were published in 1943, MacLean did not become well known until the 1970s, when his works were published in English translation. His later poem Hallaig, published 1954, achieved "cult status" outside Gaelic-speaking circles for its supernatural representation of a village depopulated in the Highland Clearances and came to represent all Scottish Gaelic poetry in the English-speaking imagination.
