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 😊

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
