about

This tragic lament was written by Mòr Chaimbeul following the execution of her husband in 1570. She tells of finding his severed head on a stake in the ground. Gregor was 29 at the time of his death, we can only assume she was younger still. It's a powerful piece of poetry detailing the macro and microscopic swirl of her grief and rage.
