My favourite Christmas carol as translated into Gaelic for me by Flora MacPhail. Have a lovely weekend and stay warm and safe. m.youtube.com/watch?v=RygEIc… #Nollaig #Gàidhlig
The image below says a lot, but the question should be not what we do now, but ‘how on earth did this happen’? So many lies told and still being told by a completely corrupt, self interested government. twitter.com/MollyMEP/statu…
Thanks @MorrisonsOffers for the extra protein in my raspberries this lunch time- not quite the meal I wanted 😳 #moroccanspider #morrisonssupermarket #extra #nothanks

I was honoured to be the Mace Bearer for the @WHC_UHI graduation ceremony last Friday. Most of all, I was proud of all graduates, and am looking forward to working with this year’s cohort of music students in the coming months. twitter.com/WHC_UHI/status…

Looking forward to this! twitter.com/Skipinnish/sta…
Hmm, Gaelic speakers, amongst the kindest, most welcoming, most hospitable people, whose homelands you are most likely travelling to, certainly do not deserve your ill conceived, rude, insulting tweet. Have a great trip. t.co/AFP2rRoCCS
Looking forward to joining Skipinnish for this local gig, should be a good night! twitter.com/Skipinnish/sta…
A beautiful Gaelic song recorded for a brand new Xbox game, by a talented young Gaelic speaker and singer. Gaelic is dead? I think not. #ThaGàidhligbeò twitter.com/eilidhc_/statu…
Think I’ve been hacked- don’t open any messages from me, I’m fixing.

Delighted to have contributed to this track, currently at number 8 in the Official Scottish singles chart. All proceeds go towards a permanent memorial to Eilidh MacLeod on Barra. #SongForEilidh twitter.com/officialcharts…
Not long before @LietIntern kicks off this evening. Uralic, Galician, Aantwaarps, Surinamese, Frisian, Bashkir, Scots, Gaelic, Aromanian, Cornish, Sami and Franco-Provençal languages all being represented tonight in songs of different styles. A privilege to hear them all. #Ceòl
Getting set to head to Friesland tomorrow, to be a Jury member for Scotland at @LietIntern minority languages song competition. Very much looking forward to hearing the Scottish Gaelic song by @whytetheband and all the other entries. A true joining of culture and music.
Home after a truly special night with @Skipinnish @EmilySmithmusic, @jamiemcclennan @Cruinn_Band and the Inveraray Pipe Band. Loved every second. Photo by @RoryGrindlay_
Heading to bed with #IsMiseGaidhlig trending at number 3. Started by @LiamAlastair it’s an amazing testament to the positive strength of support for the language. Là sonraichte air Twitter! Oidhche mhath leibh uile.
Absolutely loving the #IsMiseGaidhlig tweets. Cùm oirbh! Raise your voices and show the world how important the language is and how far reaching. #Gàidhlig
