stones were taken to build the houses. On the East side of the bay Calgary House, now called Calgary Castle, was built in 1817 extending an earlier Calgary Estate laird's house. Colonel James Macleod, Commissioner of the North-West Mounted Police, was a summer guest here. In 1876, shortly after returning to Canada, he suggested its name for Fort Calgary which gave rise to the city of Calgary, Alberta, a metropolis of 1,400,000 residents and the Greater Calgary Region, which has a population of 1.5 million. Literature The second verse of Sorley Maclean's poem Tràighean (from Dàin do Eimhir) opens with a powerful invocation of the natural beauty of Calgary bay as symbolic of spending eternity with a loved one: Agus nan robh sinn cuideachd air tràigh Chalgaraidh am Muile, eadar Alba is Tiriodh, eadar an saoghal 's a'bhiothbhuan, dh'fhuirichinn an siud gu luan a' tomhas gainmhich bruan air bhruan. And if we were together on Calgary shore in Mull, between Scotland and Tiree, between the world and eternity, I would stay there till doom, measuring sand, grain by grain.
