Remarkable signs of successful language revitalisation in Sleat in Skye (home of @SabhalMorOstaig) Proportions speaking Gaelic highest in the youngest age group, then steadily decline 3-15 80% 16-24 70% 25-34 45% 35-49 42% 50-64 37.8% 65 35% #Athbheòthachadh
Dè an aois a tha daoine le Gàidhlig anns na prÏomh sgÏrean sna h-Eileanan Siar, agus ann an sgÏrean eileanach eile, far a bheil i fhathast ga bruidhinn sa choimhearsnachd? bbc.in/3QWapx1

#Gaelic Census numbers for the Isle of Skye: 2011: 2,857 out of 9,710 (30%) 2022: 2,670 out of 10,267 (26%) One major issue facing #GĂ idhlig in some traditional heartlands is an increasing population and their disengagement with the language and culture.

Eilidh Beaton used five Epi-pens in a bid to stay alive as she broke out in hives, her throat closed over and she dosed in and out of consciousness on Saturday night. Read more here: ow.ly/If6750REvVw

Imagine CHOOSING to lock the doors of a hospital capable of providing 24/7 urgent care that is a one minute walk away from a music festival with thousands of people attending. Portree is one of the busiest places in summer with Scottish tourism and urgent care is what should be expected of anyone visiting here or living here. Skye is not some small wee island where everything is a stones throw away or a 5 minute drive. Anyone with a medical emergency in the most northerly point of Skye is 1 hour 30 mins away from the closest “functioning” hospital. Factor in a return time if they would require an ambulance. 6 years now this has been going on. OPEN PORTREE HOSPITAL FOR 24/7 URGENT CARE The community of Skye and visitors to this island deserve better! @NHSuk @NHSHighland @VisitScotland @jhalcrojohnston @_KateForbes

Please retweet and share to drive as much attention as possible. @Ianblackford_MP @neilcgray @_KateForbes @JohnSwinney @Douglas4Moray Couldn’t get an ambulance for close to an hour and wasn’t able to get into a so called hospital to get life saving equipment.

For our special series on The State of Scotland's Colleges, @heraldscotland sent me on a field trip to the Isle of Skye to visit @SabhalMorOstaig, the only Gaelic college in the country. Trust me, it's worth knowing about 👇 heraldscotland.com/news/2428…

Agus a rèir coltais tha an gearradh seo a' dol a thoirt buaidh air oifigearan coimhearsnachd. Abair freagairt air #StaingNaGàidhlig #GaelicCrisis bho @ScotGovGaidhlig @scotgov @theSNP - Chan eil #Gàidhlig a' bàsachadh, tha i ga marbhadh.
Thèid cosnaidhean a chall aig @bordnagaidhlig ri linn gearraidh de £354k far buidseat na buidhne. Caillidh triùir obair agus thèid cur às don Sgeama Oifigearan Gàidhlig. Their am Bòrd fhèin gu bheil iad 'gu math diombach' a bhith 'san t-suidheachadh seo': bbc.co.uk/naidheachdan/sgeul…

As requested, here is a magical trio of: Drumming snipe and crexing Corncrake, complimented by the beautiful melodies of several skylark. I lay down in the twilight and thought about how lucky I was to be there alone listening to this. It was cold, but calm and just so pure.
