 DESIGN STORIES • SGEULACHDAN DEALBHAIDH

‘Where art thou, wren?’ said the eagle.
‘I am here, above thee,’ said the wren.
‘Càit a bheil thu, dhreathain-duinn?’ ars an iolair.
‘Tha mis’ an seo, os do chionn,’ ars an dreathan-donn.

The story of the eagle and the wren stretches across cultures, languages and generations. Once, long ago, all the birds decided that to elect a king, a competition would be held to see which bird could fly the highest. The wren rides in the feathers of the soaring eagle before bursting out above to win – a tale of little outwitting big, the seemingly weaker overcoming the mighty. It is not the powerful eagle that rules all birds but the wren.
