Looped Island Voices playlists will again be on display in Sgoil Chàirinis, North Uist, at the Comann Eachdraidh Uibhist a Tuath Digital Fèis for the “Aire air Sunnd” well-being project at the beginning of September.
As part of the event, there is a drop-in café where people can stop by for a chat, or simply sample some of the many local Gaelic voices that have been recorded over the years. Gordon Wells will be in attendance, ready to talk to anyone interested in how the collections were made, or who might like to add to the ever-growing archive of recordings.
And on the Saturday morning, Archie Campbell, who has been leading a series of Gaelic walks over the summer, will also be on hand for anyone who likes to chat over a cup of tea. Agus ‘s e a tha math gu bruidhinn! You can view the full programme for the fèis here.
It’s a digital event, so virtual attendance is also possible for those reluctant or unable to attend in person. You can find the event on Facebook. Likewise, the playlists are all accessible online. Use the live links in this bilingual poster, and you can start watching right away!

A sharpening of focus on the vernacular Hebridean communities has become evident in some Gaelic sociolinguistic research in recent years. In this period, Island Voices has partnered with various related projects, and helped to spread news and discussion of findings and issues.
At the same time, a parallel interest in wider international comparators for the Gaelic context has also been broadcast through Island Voices channels.
Projects with close community links will be on display at the Stornoway conference on Rooting Minority Language Policy in the Speaker Community at the end of August. Series of videos will be viewable in Island Voices playlists, including “Stòras Beò nan Gàidheal”, “Saoghal Thormoid”, “Island Voices Series 1&2” and “International MOOT”.
And the playlists can be viewed remotely as well, with live links embedded in this PDF poster. This also includes additional information about the links between Soillse and Island Voices, and other collaborative research work with other universities in Scotland and internationally.

Dh’aithris mi bho chionn ghoirid air ath-fhosgladh rathad-iarainn Dartmoor bho Exeter gu Okehampton. Chaidh seo a mhaoineachadh tro phrògram “ath-thionndadh Beeching” aig Riaghaltas na RA.
Ach gu h-eachdraidheil, chùm an loidhne a’ dol dhan iar-thuath gu Porthbud (Bude) anns a’ Chùirn agus gu deas gu Tivertson agus Plymouth ann an Devon.
Seo mapa de chùisean mar a tha iad a-nis:

Agus seo mapa le cùid de na molaidhean leudachaidh.

Tha deagh sheansa gun tèid an loidhne gu Tiverton ath-fhosgladh sa mheadhan-ùine. Tha taic na comhairle ris agus tha iad an dùil airgead fhaighinn bho luchd-leasachaidh thaighean ùr air a shon. Cuideachd, chan eil loidhne ro fhada a bhios innte – dìreach 5.5 mìle.
Chosgadh e tòrr a bharrachd an loidhne bho Thiverton gu Okehampton ath-fhosgladh ach dh’fhaodte gum feumar fhosgladh a-rithist latha de na làithean mar thoradh air atharrachadh na gnàth-shìde.
Aig an àm seo, feumaidh trèanaichean eadar Exeter agus Plymouth a dhol air an Dawlish Wall, far a bheil an loidhne air balla an cois na cladaich. Chaidh a sgrìos ann an stoirm ann an 2014 agus thug e mìosan mòra ath thogail. A bharrachd air seo, ’s ann tric a bhios an loidhne dùinte nuair a tha a’ mhuir àrd. San fhad ùine ma tha, tha a h-uile coltas gum bi feum air loidhne Okehampton-Tiverton-Plymouth mar diversion oir tha fios gum bi a’ mhòr-loidhne dùinte nas trice san àm ri teachd.
A bharrachd air na loidhnichean seo ann an Sasainn, tha iomairt ann gus loidhne Okehampton ath-fhosgladh gu seann cheann na loidhne ann am Porthbud/Bude anns a’ Chòrn. ‘S e pròiseact mòr cosgail a bhiodh seo – rathad-iarainn de mu 20 mìle a dh’fhaide. Chosgadh seo na ceudan de mhìltean agus chan eil ach 10,000 duine a’ fuireach ann am Bude fhèin (agus 2,500 air an aon stèisean eile air an loidhne – Holsworthy) is mar sin, ‘s e “iarraidh mòr” a th’ ann mar a chanas iad.
Ach chan eil sin a’ cur dragh air Connect Bude, an iomairt airson ath-fhosgladh. Chan eil a’ Chòrn a Tuath air an lìonra rèile a tuath aig an àm seo agus bhiodh seo air leth feumail airson ceann a tuath na dùthcha san fharsaingeachd. Nam biodh Seanadh Còrnach ann – mar a tha tòrr dhaoine ag iarraidh, tha fios gum biodh seo àrd air an liosta de leasachaidhean bun-structar.
Nollaig Chridheil a h-uile duine!
Alasdair
