Anns a' chiad chruinneachadh bàrdachd Ghàidhlig bho Chalum L. MacLeòid, ùghdar an nobhail A' Togail an t-Srùbain, tha na dàin gar toirt bho Phlateau Mont-Royal ann am Montréal, Canada, gu cladach a' Chluaidh ann an Glaschu. Am measg nan cuspairean tha cultar bailteil agus cruth-tìre ann an Canada is Alba, measaidhean air dàimhean soirbheachail agus fàilligeach, beatha fhalaichte nan nithean làitheil, agus beatha mar eilthireach is mar Ghàidheal air eadar-mheadhanachadh tron eadar-lìon.
