Revisiting ‘Aoir air Pàdraig Sellar’ (‘A Satire on Patrick Sellar’) by Dòmhnall Bàillidh
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article focuses on Dmhnall Billidh's Gaelic song 'Aoir air Pdraig Sellar', a satire frequently drawn upon in discussions of the clearances in Sutherland.A version of this song was published in Canada in 1890 and it is upon this that all scholarly discussion to date has been based.However, an earlier, and in places significantly different, version of the song was published in the Oban Times in 1882.Thus, reconsideration of this song is offered here by means of a new edition 1 and discussion of the hitherto unconsidered earlier version, alongside comparison between all known early sources.The different perspectives offered by the 1882 version include the poet's specific mention of the agricultural changes introduced by Sellar and those working with him and the added emphasis that is placed on these men being incomers.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
