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

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:

Màiri Mhòr composed “Òran Beinn Lì” after tenants on Skye won back their grazing rights on Ben Lì & a reduction in rent – following “the Battle of the Braes” in 1882, where 50 police officers had fought with local crofters & arrested 5 men & 7 women

“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?)
