‘I was surprised when I heard mention of Iain Lom – and even stories about him – in the Braes of Lochaber in summer 2021. Picking up on this, I began with a visit to Iain Lom’s house in the company of three friends from the district and it struck me at the time that there was still oral tradition to be heard about the bard and others of those living in the Braes in the 17th century – and that it would be worth re-visiting such material. This is research that is ongoing in so far as it has only been holiday-time stravaiging and fireside conversation to date.
