[@paulmara2695]

Hi Guys- I love your videos and this one is another awesome one. If I could maybe just suggest one small thing- to look up the pronunciation of the Gaelic place names mentioned in the video? Just that preserving Scottish & Gaelic heritage is important (many people down south don't realise that it was decimated (essentially banned) in Scotland for 250 years) and some of the place are unique and special and there is a story behind each of the gaelic names. Some of the pronunciations in the video were quite a bit off! Like speaking another language in a different country, it's understandable for pronunciation errors. But would be most appreciated :)

[@RambleFamily]

Totally hear you and this is actually a conversation we've had and would love to work with a Gaelic speaker to make sure we get it right. Its really important and like you say the names reveal so much about the interaction with the land. Thanks for watching and Happy Christmas!!

[@paulmara2695]

@@RambleFamily Thanks for replying. No need to work with a Gaelic speaker as most pronunciations can be found with a quick google search. Walkhighlands website is very helpful for Gaelic pronunciations
