''Ban-Gàidheal'' or ''Ban-Ghaidheal''

Not sure what to do about this. The edition of Nua-bhàrdachd Ghàidhlig I have here spells it Bhan-Ghaidheal... ~ Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 03:14, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Occupation

I note the info box says Occupation: poet. Yet the article on Plockton High School tells us that from 1956 to 1972 he was rector (headmaster) there, a very responsible position not even mentioned in the MacLean article (apart from the brief sentence "After earning his degrees, he returned to the Highland and Island community to teach").

Surely being a poet is not an occupation unless you are being paid to be a poet. The [http://www.somhairlemacgilleain.org/english/life.htm Sorley MacLean official website] makes it clear that he was a teacher from 1934 to 1972, that is, pretty much a normal working career.--PeterR (talk) 21:02, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
