In honor of the win by ‘Let it Go’ from Disney’s Frozen at the Oscars last Sunday, I thought I would feature another song from a Disney movie with Scottish connections. I really love this version of ‘Touch the Sky’ from Disney’s Brave by Julie Fowlis.
I don’t get political as a rule, but I think this is very interesting to see how many antagonisms between Scots descendants and the Crown still exist. By the way, the Gàidhlig College in St. Ann’s is a fascinating place to visit if you are ever in Cape Breton. They do wonderful work helping to save and continue Scots traditional language, crafts and music.
I felt that today I needed something to break me out of my post “up way too late watching the Oscars” fog this morning, so I’ve gone with a purely instrumental number by Capercaillie, a well-known Scottish folk band. Personally, I think if you can sit still and not tap at least a toe while listening to this number, you’re not really awake yet at all and you should head directly to the nearest Starbucks for more coffee. I hope you enjoy!
Thanks to Àdhamh for the suggestion and all the hard work he’s been doing on behalf of all us Outlanders!
I finally had some time this weekend to put some organization around all the Gàidhlig words, phrases and tidbits I’ve collected from Àdhamh over the last month or so. I’ve compiled them into the below document.
I’ve organized the PDF document into the following categories:
I sincerely hope that this makes the information on the blog more easily referenced! Let me know what you guys think!
Taing mhòr to Àdhamh as always for graciously supplying both the information and the permission to repost on the blog!
