Next week at the Barbados Museum and Historical Society (and on zoom), speaking on a Scottish #Gaelic poet and writer active in the #Caribbean in the early 1800s, but mostly about three generations of #Bajan women in his family, from the 18th to the 20th century!

I’d seen pictures before but it was quite something to see St Patrick’s Cathedral in Barbados in person (left). Built around the same time as my own parish church in Mayo (right). One gets the sense of a single transferable late 19thC Catholic Church design.

Absolutely fantastic day. An afternoon workshop on medical manuscripts in EUL - Gaelic, Persian, Arabic English, French (including a Mayo MS) - followed by @dhaydenceltic.bsky.social wonderful John Bannerman Lecture. There could not have been a more appropriate person to honour Bannerman’s legacy!
