Stories of the Gaels:
A night of poetry and stories
Gaelic Spoken Word Night: Poetry and Stories is a celebration of Gaelic culture through poetry and stories. The event will take place on Wednesday 25th February 2026 from 6pm to 8pm at Hilltown Community Centre in the centre of Dundee, as part of the World Gaelic Week celebrations in Dundee.
Facilitated by Donnchadh MacCàba, Gaelic speaker, tutor, writer and poet, those attending will have the opportunity to listen to the Gaelic spoken word, participate in the reading and telling of poetry and stories, or they can choose to tell their own poetry or stories! There will also be time for informal conversations and networking.
The event will be held in Gaelic. Tea, coffee and cakes will be provided.
Explore Gaelic-language digital media and broadcasting through the generations. With contributions from Gaelic media broadcasters Matthew MacIver, Cathy MacDonald and Calum Maclean, we will discuss the expansion of TV broadcasting in the 1980s, tothe launch of BBC Alba, to the current world of digital connection.
How has Gaelic media represented and supported the community it serves, and how can it contribute to maintaining use of Gaelic in the future? Should we count on specialist broadcasters to inform, entertain, and educate through Gaelic, or do we also have to do it ourselves?
Drawing on the Gaelic Week theme of ‘Use it or Lose it’ Gaelic media practitioners representing different periods of this constantly evolving sector will discuss their perspectives on these issues. How should we ‘use it’ to avoid ‘losing it’?
We will visit three local English-speaking nurseries in the Cowal area to deliver a one-hour interactive Gaelic music sessions at each. The sessions will include a mix of Gaelic songs, fiddle and guitar tunes, and musical games for children aged 2–5 years.
Join us for an afternoon of music and storytelling!
Come and immerse yourself in the language, songs and stories that form a vital part of Scotland’s history. The Museum and Anstruther Improvements Association are delighted to host a Gaelic musician at the Dreel Halls for a unique cultural experience.
The event is a lovely combination of captivating Scottish folk stories interwoven with Gaelic music. By sharing these stories, we want to ensure they are not lost or forgotten – making the lore truly ‘living’. This is a fantastic opportunity for all ages to connect with Gaelic culture right here in Anstruther.
