I ran across this fascinating list of Gàidhlig terms to do with babies and children and thought Outlanders might be interested.
How to Speak Outlander Lesson 5: Dougal and Colum
STARZ released a new How to Speak Outlander lesson today featuring Àdhamh, Graham McTavish and Gary Lewis. I’m happy to see that Àdhamh’s parts keep getting larger! Along those lines, there was a move afoot on Twitter today to try and get Àdhamh a cameo in Outlander. Can’t wait to see the results.
Great Scot! Music recommendation for March 7, 2014 – Malinky – The Dreadful End of Marianna …
I thought to round out this week of Non-Gaelic songs, we would go with a great positive, upbeat ballad with a happy ending…oh, wait…Scotland doesn’t have any of those! 😉
So instead I give you one of my favorite tragic ballads. This could have been Claire if #JAMMF hadn’t arrive in the nick of time.
Malinky – The Dreadful End of Marianna for Sorcery
Great Scot! Music recommendation for March 5, 2014 – Julie Fowlis – Touch the Sky
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.

Cape Bretoners rally against the addition of ‘Royal’ to their Gaelic College
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.
Great Scot!
