This is a video about the efforts to preserve the Scottish Gaelic language. These are people who truly understand the importance of preserving a culture. Some would say, “It’s only an obsolete language – get into the 21st century.” Those are the same people who would say to us, “It’s only a flag. You lost. Get over it.”
The young lady who is the focus of this short video clip is a Highland dancer who lives in Ness on the Scottish isle of Lewis. Some good quotes from the sub-titles:
I feel that Gaelic gives us an identity as a people.
When I dance I feel connected to my place of birth.
