out of curiosity….
How many people know Scottish Gaelic?
If you do lets be friends (or message me)
I wish I could speak Scottish Gaelic! But not a lot of practice opportunities in Brussels, I’m afraid, and not often enough in Scotland (yet)…
A bunch of castles? The nearest I can find is Bothwell Castle, any others nearby?
Added Pollok House and King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut to the list, thank you!
I made this list initially in preparation for my trip to Glasgow in September 2013, but it became an evolving list of venues I visited and liked enough to return to, and places I still have to discover.
Are there any essential places missing?
Distribution of Scottish Gaelic speakers in 2001.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne ?
CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my jo,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And surely ye’ll be your pint-stowp !
and surely I’ll be mine !
And we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
CHORUS
We twa hae run about the braes,
and pu’d the gowans fine ;
But we’ve wander’d mony a weary fit,
sin auld lang syne.
CHORUS
We twa hae paidl’d i’ the burn,
frae morning sun till dine ;
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
sin auld lang syne.
CHORUS
And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere !
and gie’s a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll tak a right gude-willy waught,
for auld lang syne.
CHORUS
