Last night, our choir came together to honour Kenneth, our conductor, who's led the Glasgow Gaelic Musical Association for an incredible 42 years. It was a really special night, and I think he was happy. 💕 Bidh sinn gad ionndrainn gu mòr, a Choinnich, chan fhaicear do leithid a-rithisd. #GGMA #Gàidhlig

A large choir stands on a low stage. The women are dressed in black, the men in black shirts and kilts.

Hybrid lecture: 'Medical practitioners in the Medieval Gaelic world: Myth and history’ this Thursday

The University of Edinburgh's John Bannerman Lecture will take place this Thursday, 13 March, in person at 40 George Square at 5:15 pm GMT (= 1:15 pm EDT), with a promised 'hybrid' format. The speaker is Prof Deborah Hayden of Maynooth University, who will discuss the transmission of medical knowledge in Gaelic in late medieval and early modern Ireland and Scotland.

This is a particularly apt subject for a lecture in memory of my former teacher Dr John Bannerman, among whose scholarship was the book 'The Beatons: a medical kindred in the classical Gaelic tradition'.

More information about the lecture, including the link for free tickets (which should get you onto an email list with further information on remote attendance), may be found here:

“Her cartography of place is a peopled landscape … symbolic of the community & culture that she knew in her youth, & these personal and communal associations have a fervent emphasis in her songs”

The Bottle Imp · A Sense of Place in the Poetry of Màiri Mhòr nan Òran - The Bottle ImpIf you happen to be visiting Portree, the main settlement on the Isle of Skye, the chances are that you will take a wander down to the bay where in the flurry of tourists and opportunistic seagulls, it is easy to miss a plaque on a white-washed wall with the Gaelic words: ‘Moch ‘s mi […]

@stevenlawson @skinnylatte I see you’ve made some contacts already. For more I’d recommend having a look at #Gàidhlig (how speakers refer to the language). There’s also a dedicated instance ailbhean.co-shaoghal.net/publi which might have some inspiration. There’s also a group @\gaidhlig@a.gup.pe.

“Oscar” became a popular name, especially in Scandinavia, & eventually became the name of the Academy Award too.

It wasn’t the only popular name to come from Macpherson’s works: “Fiona” is another. People went nuts for Ossian. (Will anyone be naming their daughters “Daenerys” in 250 years?)
