Quotes by Ann Matheson (?)

“Sorley MacLean's poetry, along with Derick Thomson's periodical Gairm (1951), the Gaelic Books Council (1968), the rise of Runrig (1973), the founding of Sabhal Mòr Ostaig on Skye (1973) and, economically, the Highlands and Islands Development Board (1965), set in train the revival of the Gaelic language and turned the orientation of thought and language of the Gaels from the traditions of the past to facing the future with an increased sense of confidence.”
― Ann Matheson, Ayont the Thistle: A gallimaufry of poetry and prose to mark the centenary (1926 - 2026) of Hugh MacDiarmid's 'A Drunk Man looks at the Thistle'
