Description

Reading the Gaelic Landscape explores the connection between language and landscape in Scotland's native tongue. This new edition has been expanded with additional images and enhanced drawings, providing a deeper understanding of Gaelic toponymy.

The book delves into the grammar and pronunciation of Gaelic, as well as its use in place-names, etymology, and historical context. It offers insights into landscape character and history, enriching the experience of walkers, climbers, sailors, bird watchers, and fishers by sketching the named context.

Through a closer examination of how native speakers applied their language to the landscape, readers can gain a new perspective on place and its definition in Gaelic. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the Scottish Highlands and its native language.
