Oil portrait of Elizabeth Catherine “Ella” Carmichael seated in a wooden chair beside a writing desk. She wears a long, flowing dress with a sheer, patterned overdress and a beaded necklace, her dark hair pinned up. One arm rests on the chair, the other holds a rolled paper over scattered books and papers, suggesting a literary or scholarly setting.

It's #WorldGaelicWeek! We're sharing a blog by @poncarova.bsky.social about the women who shaped Ruaraidh Erskine's early 20th-century Gaelic magazines and how their writing influenced both modern Gaelic literature and the Scottish national movement

Every letter in the Gaelic alphabet is linked to a tree. 🌳 The very structure of the language reflects a deep connection between people and the natural world, and an understanding of the practical and cultural importance of trees.

Never Trust anything that comes out of this place. Westminster does not care about Scotland only what Scotland can give them for free.

Tha seo caran fadalach airson Seachdain na Gàidhlig...
'Am fear a bhitheas beo, thig e uaireigin.'

Agus seo abairt eile a chuala mi aig caraid bho cheann ghoirid.
‘Tha do cheaird agad na do laimh agus an da chanan na do bheul.'

Sketch for Alexander Carmichael’s Deirdire by John Duncan, ca. 1905. A black-and-white pencil sketch of a sorrowful woman resting her head on her arm. She wears a headscarf and a richly patterned cloak with intricate geometric designs. Her face is partially obscured by her arm, and her expression conveys deep sadness. Her wrists are adorned with multiple bracelets, and her long hair flows down her arm. The background features a decorative woven pattern, reflecting the Celtic Revival style.

As #WorldGaelicWeek ends and #WomensHistoryMonth commences, we bring you a blog from our archive. @drmaudbailey.bsky.social explores how medieval Gaelic literature shaped cultural and national identity during the Scottish Celtic Revival.
