Guth na Bliadhna

The quarterly Guth na Bliadhna (‘The Year’s Voice’) was the most viable of Erskine’s Gaelic periodicals. It appeared regularly during a period of twenty-one years, from 1904 until 1925, the only break being between Volume XVIII, Issue 4 (Winter 1921) and Volume XIX, Issue I (Winter 1923). Until 1919, it was bilingual, in English and Gaelic, and afterwards Gaelic-only. It also published content in Breton, French, Irish, Latin, Manx, Scots, and Welsh.

Donald John MacLeod, in Twentieth-Century Gaelic Literature (1969), noted that ‘for twenty years the editor of Guth na Bliadhna offered the Gaelic reading public a political and literary review of an uncompromisingly avant-garde and cosmopolitan nature, edited from a Gaelic-nationalist or otherwise radical point of view and written, eventually, entirely in Gaelic.’
