Cleachd gach dóigh gus caidreamh idir muintir na Gaeltachta agus na Gaidhealtachd uilig a chothú tríd an Ghaeilge agus an Ghaidhlig :)

[@UISTMAN59]

@barrach7 You are very welcome. Nairn is a lovely town.

Wish they taught Gaelic in Scottish schools Would far rather have learned it than bloody French! Too old to pick it up now 😔

[@adventureswithaurora]

Well, French is a good language too. ;) And one is never too old-I remember hearing of a polyglot who started learning languages in his 80s! Keep up the learning. :)

[@PobbieRoops]

@@adventureswithaurora aye don't get me wrong, I enjoyed French lessons but I'm Scottish and would've rather had Gaelic. I did choose it, but there weren't enough people interested to warrant making a class to teach 😭 Sign language would've been another great option but sadly not available. I've met more Deaf people and Gaelic speakers than French though, and the one single French person I have met was fluent in English anyway 😂

[@adventureswithaurora]

@@PobbieRoops Oof, yeah, I can see why Gaelic would have been more useful, LOL. Sign language is also very useful; I agree! I'm learning it myself. 🙃

[@PobbieRoops]

@@adventureswithaurora really? That's great! How are you getting on with it?

[@adventureswithaurora]

@@PobbieRoops Pretty well! :) It's a very fun-and obviously very visual-language. It's such a pleasure to learn.

Did anyone else notice the Confederate flag that was briefly shown as a partial wall for one of the stalls? It's around 1:29 =)

[@ruairimonophthalmos5458]

Who cares?

[@Sabhail_ar_Alba]

@@ruairimonophthalmos5458 I do -it's a great flag.

[@adventureswithaurora]

I did indeed!

[@Narrman]

They sound so much better without the synthesizers...

[@adventureswithaurora]

I agree with you 100%! I miss this old version of Capercaillie.

[@Trunchisholm]

@@adventureswithaurora This old version of Capercaillie used tons of synthesisers, far more than these days. They're just playing an acoustic set here.

[@adventureswithaurora]

@@Trunchisholm Agreed. I still prefer the acoustic sets.
