Reflection of the Gaels

by Morag MacNeill (Editor), Kenneth Lindsay (Producer), Cara Bell (Illustrator)

In this book and accompanying CD you will find a unique collection of stories that will be attractive to the Gael and non-Gael alike. It features Gaels talking informally about their lives and work.

Mas Math Mo Chuimhne is not only suitable for learners and Gaelic speakers, but it will also appeal to people from all over the world. The personal memories of those who were interviewed gives the reader a unique insight into the language and culture of the Gaels of Scotland.

The stories give us an excellent picture of life in the Highland and Islands throughout the 20th century. The book is an excellent account of the social history of these areas told in an interesting and informative way.
