About the event

Drawing on his recently published book, Dr Coinneach Maclean illustrates the value of access to Gaelic sources (including histories, narratives, poetry, song, place-names and lived experience) for an understanding of the landscape and people of the Highlands and Islands, an area long a focus of tourism but often misunderstood.

A Gaelic speaker fom the Island of South Uist, Dr Maclean trained as an archaeologist and has had a varied career including deer farming, rural development, housing, and the heritage industry.
