Notes This poem mentions Burmese immigrants to Scotland. The speaker of the poem describes how he cannot understand the music of their language, and connects this to the failure of Scottish education board to provide for Scottish Gaelic speakers. Like he, who cannot understand Burmese, the education board cannot truly appreciate the needs of Gaelic speakers.
