| Summary: | Part of the Stòras Beò nan Gàidheal project in which the UHI Language Sciences Institute with Sabhal Mòr Ostaig and Soillse, together with Irish partners, record the natural speech of Irish and Scottish Gaelic speakers in their own communities with user-friendly equipment and techniques. Here, in the first part, Seonag Smith from Hàclait talks about her early years in Benbecula, including schooling in Daliburgh and Iochdar. She recalls family life as the eldest child, including helping on the croft, boat trips, and social practices associated with peatcutting, such as family division of labour and attention to the needs of elderly neighbours. She also talks about army-community relations once she started working at the “camp” after leaving school. |
| Language notes: | A two-way conversation in which Archie Campbell questions Seonag Smith on her recollections and opinions on growing up on Benbecula in the Outer Hebrides and wherever else her life took her. |
