O Cheapaich nan Craobh

[O Cheapaich nan Craobh]

The lastest publication from Sìol is now available. This is our most ambitious project to date. Alasdair Ailein Mhór (Alexander MacDonald), known locally as Bàrd na Ceapaich (The Keppoch Bard), was born in Glenuig, Moidart, Scotland in 1820. He moved with his family in 1830 to the Keppoch area of Antigonish County, Nova Scotia. There he produced poetry in quality second only to his neighbour the celebrated Bard MacLean. Twenty-five of the bard's songs have been collected through painstaking research and are now in print together for the first time along with translations, geneological information, corrospondence and photos of the bard and the people he sang about. 230pp.

“This excellent collection of the poetry of Alexander MacDonald, the Keppoch Bard, one of the greatest Gaelic poets of the New World, will be welcomed by anyone interested in the Gaelic heritage of Nova Scotia, and in particular, the rich legacy of Gaelic song and poetry from Antigonish County.”
Dr. Robert Dunbar, Reader in Celtic, University of Aberdeen

Faire Chaluim Mhic Leòid DVD
The Wake Calum MacLeod DVD

[Faire Chaluim Mhic Leòid]

North America's first Gaelic-language short film is a whirlwind of a tale!

Calum MacLeod is a storyteller without an audience, for his children moved from Cape Breton long ago. One lonely night Calum confronts the Baron of the Wind in a storm and demands his children be returned. The old man promptly falls dead. From distant points the MacLeods assemble to attend Calum’s wake. But the deceased Calum has a surprise ending in store for them yet.

Shot in the highlands of Cape Breton and featuring Gaelic storyteller Angus MacLeod and music by internationally renowned signer Mary Jane Lamond, Faire Chaluim Mhic Leòid is not only "a beautifully crafted film" (Inverness Oran), "a heart-tugger" (Halifax Daily News) and "a gem" (Winnipeg Uptown Magazine), it is a historic venture into one of the world's most renowned oral storytelling cultures.

Loaded with special features, including photos, storyboards, production notes, music, biographies, trailers and learn Gaelic resources, Faire Chaluim Mhic Leòid can be viewed with English, Gaelic and no subtitles, making the film an excellent Gaelic language tool.
