The Balmoral Hotel is proud to welcome Marcas Mac an Tuairneir, one of Scotland's leading Gaelic poets as our Poet-in-Residence, or Bàrd air mhuinntireas.

 

The Balmoral’s Poet-in-Residence can be pre-booked by guests staying at the hotel for a celebration or to commemorate a special occasion. Guests can select a pre-written Gaelic poem or develop a bespoke poem with Marcas, making for the perfect memento for a wedding vow, proposal, anniversary or heart-felt love letter written in the most passionate of languages.

 

To celebrate this new partnership, Marcas has written a ‘Love letter to The Balmoral’ depicting the romantic history of the hotel and the cultural richness of Scotland. The Balmoral is renowned for its unique suite experiences, and this specially curated poem will be presented to guests staying in a signature suite when celebrating a proposal, wedding or honeymoon at the hotel.

 

For those looking to bring their bespoke poetry to life and immerse themselves in Scottish tradition, Marcas can also be booked to perform the bespoke piece at a wedding, birthday or any other milestone event.
