Episode 1: Gaidhlig

Welcome to the first episode of For the Love of Scotland podcast! I have an intense love for Scotland and I thought I would take the opportunity to speak about different topics at length that I happen to enjoy!

The very first episode is all about Scottish Gaelic or Gaidhlig (I can't get my accents to work on this website for some reason....)
I think it's incredibly interesting and I feel like learning it is akin to paying homage to my ancestors.

Please find a list of sources linked below as well as some amazing resources if you care to learn to speak Gaelic yourself!! :)
