Sligh’-uisge a’ Chrìonain / The Crinan Canal
‘S dòcha gum faca sibh prògram-telebhisean ‘Coast‘ mìos no dhà air ais, far am b’ urrainn dhuibh na slighean-uisge agus an costa an iar fhaicinn eadar Glaschu agus Inbhir Nis? Chòrd sin riumsa gu mòr oir bha mise is mo mhàthair dìreach anns an sgìre sin – costa an iar Earra-Ghàideil – airson ar saor-làithean am bliadhna, agus ‘s beag an dùil a bha againn na dearbh àitichean fhaicinn a-rithist air an telebhisean. Chunnaic sinn iomadh àite eachdraidheal ùidheil thall an-sin (agus ‘s dòcha gun dèilig mi riutha uair eile) ach bha aon rud ann a rinn uiread de dhruidheadh oirnn ‘s gu bheil mi airson sgrìobhadh mu dheidhinn – Sligh’-uisge a’ Chrìonain. continue reading…

Julie Fowlis na tosgaire ùr; pròiseact ùr ann an sgoil shònraichte Baile Dhubhthaich le Mairearad Green; raon ùr ‘Fèis nan Oileanach Gàidhlig’; cuirm-ciùil aig Celtic Connections 2011.
30 years of Fèis Rois! Julie Fowlis as new ambassador; new project in St Duthus special needs school, Tain, with Mairearad Green; new Gaelic Students’ Fèis; a major concert at Celtic Connections 2011.
Read all about it in the P&J.
Tha mi air a bhith a’ coimhead air na prògraman Mòid air BBC Alba agus tha mi uabhasach toilichte gu bheil balach òg à Baile Dhubhthaich anns a’ chuirm-ciùil mu deireadh le òran eibhinn: Eoghann Peutan.
I’ve been watching the various programmes from the Mod in Caithness on BBC Alba and I’m absolutely delighted that a young Tain lad is in the final (prizewinners’) concert, with an amusing song about a party: Ewan Beaton.
Meal do naidheachd, Eoghainn! Congratulations!
Agus mealaibh ur naidheachd, a Mhòid agus a Ghallaibh! Caithness put on a great Mod despite all the fuss about supposedly not having any Gaelic heritage.
Watch again on the i-player, about 1 hour in:

Sgrìobh mi mun Fhèis anns an Iuchar 2009. Tha sreath ùr aig BBC Alba, ‘ iTrad’, agus anns a’ chiad phrògram tha aithris mhòr mu dheidhinn nan daoine òga anns a’ Cheilidh air Chuart aig Fèis Rois. ‘S urrainn dhuibh coimhead air a-rithist air a’ BhBC i-player gu Diluain 20 den t-Sultain:

The McLennan family
Have just heard from Rita that her father remembers the gentleman who contacted her after reading the Seaboard News article in May 2010 , also an ex-POW, and even has a photo of him in the old days. He was delighted to have found him again after 50 years and will be getting back in touch.
