Until relatively modern times Scotland was largely a Gaelic-speaking nation. Once described as being as remote and unknown as Borneo it has become a site of modern mass tourism and the subject of more travel writing than any other part of Scotland.
That narrative, however, often bears little relation to the lived experience of the native people. In this book we are taken on a journey through the present and former Gaelic speaking areas of Scotland from the perspective of the native Gaels. Their own words, giving the reader a more rounded, deeper understanding of the history and culture of the Gaelic peoples of Scotland.
