PORTREE HIGH SCHOOL MAGAZINE (1934-1970)

Originally entitled Portree Secondary School Magazine; this periodical has between about five per cent and ten per cent of Gaelic material per issue. On the whole, this material does not compare with the quality of writing to be found in An Cabairneach, the periodical produced by the school’s branch of Comunn na h-Oigridh (see sections for anonymous poetry and for prose in this bibliography). Nevertheless, some interesting and original material is to be found in the Portree High School Magazine’s pages, particularly in the last few issues. Many of the young poets of course came from other islands, but I have not made any attempt to separate them from the Sgiathanaich here.

Surviving copies of the magazine are mostly in private hands. I have had access to issues 1 to 8 (1934-1941), and 11-20 (1950-1970).

Most of the poems listed below are based upon traditional metres, usually with imperfect rhyme and minimal ornamentation.
