Sgod - Performance Poet

Apart from a period of working and writing for the local theatre in the Inverness area when he first moved to the Highlands in the early 70s, as a Performance Poet, Sgod (Scott Russell) has been in great demand, in his home locality in the Highlands and as far afield as Edinburgh and Glasgow, both for his own work and to recite Burns’ Tam O’ Shanter.

Sgod has performed in many places including Inverness Town Centre at the inaugeration of The Three Virtues.

If you are looking for a personalised poem for an event (eg birthday/wedding), e-mail or telephone to negotiate a fee.

Crofter seeking Crofteress
Ochone! Ochone! I’m all alone
Here in my Highland home
The tv set’s not invented yet
Nor is the mobile phone
There’s no magazines, no computer screens
Not even playstation2
And for company there’s only me
What can a poor truaghan do?

Obh! Obh! I suppose it behoves me
To get out and look for a wife
But working a croft is not for the soft
It’s a physical sort of a life
She’ll need to be tough to do all that stuff
With stout legs for climbing the hill
It would help, of course, if she came with a horse
Or a tractor, better still!

I would put an ad in the window
But this place is hard to find
The postie comes up once a week
But he’s not the marrying kind
There’s the district nurse
But she’s even worse
Especially when seen from behind!

Maybe I’ll send for a postal bride
From somewhere far away
Like Camault Muir, or Lònaig Shìm
Or even Kiltarlity!
