'Chì mi na mòrbheanna' - Scottish Patriotic Song

[mingulay]

I once met an old man working as a tour guide in the Kyle of Lochalsh near Skye. I had been learning Gaelic for about a year or so, and I was attempting to translate a Gaelic sign to a friend of mine. He had heard me, came over to us and greeted me in Gaelic. His accent was very strong, so strong we were forced to conduct most of our conversation in English as I could not really understand him in Gaelic. He told me about how when he was a boy in Skye schoolteachers would beat him with a stick for speaking Gaelic in class and as such he had never learned to read or write in Gaelic, he only knew it from speaking it to his parents at home. He was a fascinating fellow but I could tell there was a real sadness about him. Part of the final generation of a dwindling Gàidhealtachd on Skye, forced to speak a foreign tongue his whole life, unable to communicate with even his own family in anything but English. A tragic story told over and over again across Scotland.

Nice to see some Scottish Gaelic! I’m currently learning Scottish Gaelic and I like it.

That's the first time I hear Scottish Gaelic. It's amazing

[Edward_YT_WEC]

As of 2011, there are about 57, 000 native speakers of Scottish Gaelic left. We need to help the language survive for many more centuries like we did with the Welsh.

Fada Beò Alba! Mòran Gràdh às na Stàitean Aonaichte! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️🇺🇸

They should bring this back in Schools in Scotland it's our Language.

When you think about it, it's weird to hear some people to speak their native tongue, but normal to speak a completely different language

cheers fae posting this!

‘S e cànan brèagha a th’ ann an Gàidhlig agus tha mi a’ smaoineachd gu Gàidhlig glè chudromach airson alba agus ar cultar.
Gaelic is a beautiful language and I think that Gaelic is very important for Scotland and our culture.

Celtic songs in general have that melow theme into it which is nice
