Rinn mi cùrsa goirid @SabhalMorOstaig (air Zoom, ach bha e fìor mhath!) an t-seachdainn seo chaidh, agus chuir an tidsear iarrtas oirnn pìos beag a sgrìobhadh mi dhèidhinn “an t-àite as fheàrr leat”.
Chan eil fhios a'm carson, ach dh'fheuch mi pìos bàrdachd #Gàidhlig a dhèanamh…

Seo e, a'chiad pìos bàrdachd a sgrìobh mi sa Ghàidhlig riamh. Chan eil e cho math ach tha e gu math fada … agus uabhasach *nostalgic* cuideachd!
Dùthaich mo chrìdhe, Caladair
Gach oidhche, a’dùnadh mo shùilean, chì mi an aon àite,
Dùthaich mo chrìdhe, an sgìreachd bheag bhòidheach, Caladair.
Chì mi na cnuic ‘s na lochanan, na h-uillt ‘s na craobhan,

To keep your spirits up during these trying times, here’s a thread of some hilariously random finds from our dictionary that we’ve discovered over the years:

@islaybookfest said I’d tell you about growing up as an Edinburgh Gael. It’s a tricky subject for me, because it’s a very personal thing and I get tied up in knots trying to explain. But deep breath, here goes (thread):
Till I was 5 I was fully bilingual, but my dad was the only Gaelic-speaker in my life. There were bodaich who came round for a dram and a song, but we were always packed straight off to bed. There was nothing in my east Edinburgh neighbourhood to make sense of me.
When I went to primary school I stopped speaking Gaelic, but Dad didn’t. So I became a fluent listener. And when we moved to Peebles for my high school years, any chance of being part of a Gaelic community was blown. I had this sense of not being in any way a *real* Gael.
