Not wanting to be pedantic, but his surname was Macrae, not MacRae... 😅

@spekkyguy 12 күн бұрын

Sorry, but I have to disagree with you on this. MacRae is a Scottish name and the first letter following the Mc or Mac in a Scottish name is always capitalised. It's just laziness, or ignorance, on the part of some who choose to neglect, the rules of Scottish grammar.

The yacht was called the Elspeth. Kissling had it on hire I think. During the war he was interned as an enemy alien. He never returned to Germany but he often revisited Erisgeidh post-war. He settled in Scotland and died in a care-home in Dumfries in the early eighties. The music was added later. Most of it was recorded from the singing of the London Ghaidhlig choir which had a strong contingent of exiled Lewis girls like Kitty Macleod.

It seems a much less harsh landscape than that of St.Kilda's and the people seem more like todays people even though they were both filmed in the 1930's. The difference is probably that St.Kilda's is much more isolated with an even windier climate because of it being so far out in the Atlantic. Also, the strict cult religion that the people of St.Kilda's had.

Erisgaidh is not really isolated like Hiort (especially today with its causeway) and it has a very sheltered acairsaid. Hiort didn't have that. The Hiortaich were normal Presbyterians.

This is definitely a hard lifestyle, but rich in community. It seems the more comfortable life becomes, the less we need each other in our communities and the more detached we become. Being comfortable but alone can sure be sad at times.

I think the sparrah or the man hit by the arrah thumbed this down. 🤣

@spekkyguy 4 жыл бұрын

The wee coak sparrah was totally unaffected by the incident and therefore unlikely to give a ‘thumbs down’. But the man wae the barrah, that wis hit wae the arrah, and the wee boey, that wis hurt tae the marrah, well I’m quite sure both of them gave a ‘thumbs down’.
