I like the idea of the Not at Home Card 😁 I’m not sure where the cards would be left, maybe just handed to people at polite gatherings in anticipation of them visiting? Would be really useful at times like Christmas , avoiding unexpected visitors ?😁
Doing some research just now which involves some ‘at home’ cards from the 19thc. Wasn’t that a good idea 😎 “ Mr & Mrs Lawrence are At Home. Thursdays in December after three o’ clock”. How civilised would that be now 😊
Did you know that #folklorist Margaret Fay Shaw of #Canna once said “ never let anyone do your thinking for you”. Today never truer . Sin thu fhèin a Mhairead #Gaelic
Se do bheatha!
‘Strange Things’ by John Lorne Campbell . Fascinating insight into Highland Supernatural tradition and the Highland Society for Physical Research inquiry into second sight #folklore
Back in 2016 I worked at the Digital Archive of Scottish Gaelic and my main job was digitising and re-transcribing texts to be put in a searchable database. One of the most interesting texts I handled was by Hugh Laing, a Gael who emigrated to Australia and wrote a book called "Gu Tìr Mo Luaidh"

Thanks to Sabhal Mòr Ostaig for the opportunity to discuss the 2022 census results for Gaelic today Despite ongoing decline in core island areas, overall speaker numbers rose considerably. Numbers with other language skills much more rapidly. Gaelic speakers spread across Scotland more than ever 1/2
