Làmhan thar na Linne

24 February @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

- Free

A celebration of place, language and culture, re-connecting two communities traditionally linked by the Corran crossing, through Gaelic foraging walks, song and storytelling sessions and a first gathering of a regular circle drawing together Gaels, learners and supporters of the language from both sides of Loch Linnhe.

Crossing the Corran Ferry for Part two on Monday the 24th, with the Gaelic-speaking foreman at the helm and making the announcements, the focus shifts to Ardgour where the presenters of BBC ALBA’s newest outdoors series, ‘Rùrachd’, will lead a Gaelic-orientated foraging session, introducing participants to gateway finds, and particularly exploring and celebrating the Gaelic names and backgrounds of plants, as well as their traditional uses. The foraging leaders are Mary Ann Kennedy and Lucy Cooke, director of Watercolour Music and part-time Project Manager of Inchree Barn Project respectively. Local Gaelic speakers, some with generations of family belonging and including children from the local primary schools, will be encouraged to come along and join in, sharing their own stories, songs and background.

Event timings are still to be announced.
