Details for unit 9169

Title:Magaidh Smith (1)
Owner:GuthanNanEilean
Short url:https://clilstore.eu/cs/9169
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, Maggie Smith, from Achmore on Lewis, talks about early childhood memories and stories of Glasgow where she was born, though she has Achmore roots going back many generations. Returning home she recalls the kind of upbringing island children of her age received, in which community links and mutual responsibilities were strong. Grandparental stories from work experience in Patagonia, and snatches of Spanish at the fank guarded against cultural introversion. She recalls her schooling, and the impact of television’s arrival on cèilidh culture, with traditional work on the land noticeably falling off in the 80s, particularly after oil work began.
Language notes:A two-way conversation in which Peter Murray questions Maggie Smith on her life and work growing up on Lewis in the Outer Hebrides.
