Here’s another sample from the Stòras Beò nan Gàidheal pilot project in which the UHI Language Sciences Institute with Sabhal Mòr Ostaig and Soillse, together with Irish partners, embark on recording the natural speech of Irish and Scottish Gaelic speakers in their own communities with user-friendly equipment and techniques. In this example of fieldwork Archie Campbell interviews Hughena Macdonald, from Iochdar in South Uist, in her home. Retracing her life history and involvement in Gaelic community life and events, they found plenty to talk about, and their conversation here is presented in two parts.
