: Starting from the polyglot work of the Dublin-born and Skye-based Rody Gorman, who writes in Scottish and Irish Gaelic, English and his own invented translation of “intertonguing,” this essay explores recent poetic connections between the two countries through readings of Irish poets who live or have lived in Scotland: the Gaelic and Irish peregrinations of David Wheatley, and the “minoritized diasporic” position of poets in English such as Alan Gillis, Miriam Gamble, and Aoife Lyall. It discusses ways in which these poets engage with dislocation, linguistic multiplicity, the risks of being absorbed into a new environment, and the possibility of flitting – Sweeney-like – between places, literatures, and trees. It ends with a focus on the diasporic Gaelic writing of Niall O’Gallagher, and how he negotiates his Irish inheritance. There is an unexpected focus on bodybuilding, birds, and moths; on people being transformed into dolphins; and an unregretful Columba cheerily leaving Ireland behind.

: The islands of Ireland and Scotland are geographically peripheral to the mainlands. Yet they occupy a significant part of both literatures. This may well be because they are perceived as being the least Anglicised, the least dominated by the cultural beasts from the east. For most of the last century this was certainly true. The Irish and Gaelic island literature of both countries was for the most part documentary rather than imaginative during that time. This is not to say that it was not sifted through powerful and individual minds, but just that they did not set forth to invent new or alternative worlds. They are often seen, with a wee little bit and often a dollop of justification, as social documents. As these islands have become as much part of what we call the modern world as anywhere else, writers have been forced to do something else rather than just describe. They had to use their imaginations. This essay examines this journey.

A very interesting chapter in the history of international relations would be the narrative of those anciently subsisting between Ireland and Scotland. There exists abundant material for such a compilation; and we are inclined to marvel that no one has yet undertaken it, at least in a formal and connected way. [...] As a nation, we hear little of Ireland; and that which we do hear is obviously “cooked” for our consumption.1

: This essay examines the diverse manifestations of a lifelong interest in Ireland in the work of the Scottish Gaelic poet, scholar, and activist Ruaraidh MacThòmais (Derick Thomson, 1921-2012). It touches upon Thomson’s academic engagement with Irish-related topics and follows his comments on the situation of the Irish language and revitalisation efforts in his “manifesto” essay “The Role of the Writer in a Minority Culture” (1966) and other articles, where it serves as a source of inspiration and a point of contrast. Detailed attention is paid to the generous space which was devoted to Irish affairs and literature in the Gaelic quarterly magazine Gairm which Thomson co-founded and steered for fifty years (1952-2002), including his reviews of Irish-related publications. Drawing on references in Gairm and in Thomson’s poetry collections, the essay also brings together evidence of his personal contacts with Irish writers and intel-lectuals, including Máirtín Ó Direáin, and of his sustained engagement with W.B. Yeats.
本文考察了苏格兰盖尔语诗人、学者和活动家Ruaraidh MacThòmais(德里克·汤姆森，1921-2012)对爱尔兰的毕生兴趣的各种表现形式。它触及了汤姆森对爱尔兰相关话题的学术参与，并遵循了他在其“宣言”文章《作家在少数民族文化中的角色》(1966)和其他文章中对爱尔兰语言状况和振兴努力的评论，在这些文章中，它作为灵感来源和对比点。书中还详细介绍了盖尔语季刊《盖尔姆》(Gairm)中关于爱尔兰事务和文学的大量版面，包括他对爱尔兰相关出版物的评论。汤姆森与人共同创办并主持了该杂志50年(1952-2002)。根据盖尔姆和汤姆逊诗集中的参考资料，这篇文章还汇集了他与爱尔兰作家和知识分子的个人接触的证据，包括Máirtín Ó Direáin，以及他与W.B.叶芝的持续交往。
