Lewis MacKinnon speaking to a group of NS Gaels in Judique on Friday, August 16 . He spoke about how the way Gaelic
language is structured, reflects the identity of the Gaelic people, i.e. how they view things like ownership, sense of
community, connection with animals, the environment, the cosmos and aspects related to health and wellbeing.
Kenneth MacKenzie played some pipe tunes while his wife, Jenny, step-danced.
Mary Elizabeth MacMaster accompanied them on piano.

Learning Gaelic becomes post-retirement pursuit
http://www.ngnews.ca/Community/2013-08-16/article-3353894/Learning-Gaelic-becomes-postretirement-pursuit/1
Robert Forsyth's Gaelic-English dictionary has served him well in his
efforts to learn the ancient language of his ancestors.
The distance between Inverness County and the Isle of Skye can
take many decades to navigate, in Robert Forsyth’s experience.
Forsyth was a New Waterford boy visiting his mother’s people in
Inverness County when he first remembers being attracted to the
lilting rhythms of the Gaelic language. By the time he made it to a
Gaelic immersion program at Sabhal Mor Ostaig on the isolated
Isle of Skye, he was the married father of three grown children, a
retired Michelin employee and a recent university graduate.
“My parents were both of Scottish descent. My mother’s family
had originally come from the highlands and my father’s from the
lowlands but there was no Gaelic spoken in my home,” he said.
The Gaelic flowed freely, though, at family gatherings in Inverness
County, intriguing Forsyth.
“I was interested in the language, definitely, but there were very
few opportunities to learn it outside the family home in those
days,” he said.
Forsyth savoured Gaelic words and phrases when and where he heard them and he enjoyed Cape Breton Celtic
music, but like many a young Maritimer, the need to find work took him to Toronto.
“I’d been in Toronto for seven years when I heard about the Michelin plant opening in Pictou County. I saw it as an
opportunity to get back to Nova Scotia and it worked out. I worked there almost 34 years,” he said.
Forsyth married a girl from the Sydney area and they settled in Blue Mountain where they still live.
“We both came from an agricultural background so we had no trouble fitting into a rural community. People were good
to us, we’ve enjoyed it and found it a great place to raise a family. It is a safe place and we’ve always found lots to do,”
he said.
At age 56, with retirement in the not-too-distant future, Forsyth decided to begin university. Initially, he was a part-time
student but was able to add to his course load during retirement and a year ago he graduated from St. Francis Xavier
University with a bachelor of arts degree, major in English and minor in Celtic studies.
“It was late in life before I got the opportunity to seriously learn Gaelic but it worked out pretty well for me,” he said.
He remembers being the oldest person in most of his classes, Gaelic included.
“Most people seemed to be 18 to 25 but the young people were very encouraging and when it came to technology
they had lots of skills they did not mind sharing,” he said, adding he also had great encouragement and support from
his own family.

Forsyth said the Gaelic required a lot of hard work and while there were discouraging moments, he stuck with it,
gaining grammar, vocabulary and confidence.
He applied for a two-week immersion course at Sabhal Mor Ostaig, the Gaelic college on the Isle of Skye, because he
thought it would be a great opportunity to add to his proficiency.
“I didn’t really expect to be going but I was accepted and a bursary from the Scottish government and the Nova Scotia
Department of Gaelic Affairs made it affordable. It was pretty exciting to think I’d be studying on the Isle of Skye,” he
said.
Getting there was more challenging than expected.
“The Olympics were on in London so I had trouble getting a flight. I had to fly to Frankfurt and then to Edinburgh and
get a bus from there to the island. Then I was dropped off and had to find a local bus to the college,” he said.
At the bus stop Forsyth met a man who was also on his way to Gaelic learning.
“He was from Sweden and his ancestors had moved there from Scotland in the seventeenth century. He told me that
at least one person in every generation of his family since then had kept in touch with the family left behind in
Scotland.”
Forsyth said he also met a Gaelic student from France who held Nova Scotians in high esteem because of the role
Nova Scotia soldiers had played in the liberation of France in the Second World War.
“The instructors are all fluent Gaelic speakers, some of them native speakers. They are knowledgeable, patient,
energetic and very helpful,” Forsyth said.
All day Monday to Friday was spent in the classroom where the emphasis was on conversation rather than grammar.
Forsyth’s proficiency improved as he adapted to synonyms used in place of more familiar words from his St. FX
classes.
“In the evenings there were conversation groups at the café on campus. I took advantage of this and traded broken
Gaelic with many different people who were also there to learn,” he said.
The immersion program was an opportunity Forsyth encourages others to consider.
“It was a wonderful experience and I learned that Gaelic is not just spoken in isolated communities in Cape Breton or
the highlands of Scotland. It is alive and valued and spoken by many people in Canada and in countries across
Europe.”
Forsyth continues to practice his Gaelic with a local group, through private lessons in Gillisdale and as a member of
the board of the Gaelic Council of Nova Scotia. He was also a participant in the recent Gaelic service at the historic
Loch Broom church.

Sanas bho Comhairle na Gàidhlig - Notice from The Gaelic Council
Gaelic learners have been gathering since February for a special project that brings stories from Gaelic
speakers to life, and sheds some light on how our relationship to Gaelic has changed over time. The Comhairle
has hosted five sessions to date, under the guidance of Bev Brett, professional playwright and director from
North River, Cape Breton, who is sharing techniques in play creation, developed over her career.
The workshops involve fun, simple theatre games, and techniques for non-actors and actors alike.
Participants of all levels of Gaelic, from beginners to advanced, are really enjoying this fun and novel project,
and getting to know each other over tea.
To date, we have developed a list of humourous and powerful scenes, some in Gaelic, some mixed with
English, but all fully understandable for a non-Gaelic audience. Encounters in the school, community dinners,
the store, or on the street all tell the story of Gaelic in Nova Scotia.
Page 9 of 15
The workshops are open to new-comers. We are still creating scenes, exploring ideas, and building
characters. We discuss ideas and then explore how we can incorporate them in a scene, then try it out! In the
process, we’re learning some Gaelic and also learning skills that make a real difference in putting together plays
and presenting ideas. For anyone who uses drama in work with students and youth, or just wants to come out for
a great time, don’t be shy.
Our first fall session will be on September 7 in central/south Cape Breton from 10 am to 4 pm, lunch served,
location to be confirmed. ALL WELCOME – contact Caroline at [email protected] or 258-5768 for details.
Luingean 1801 - Ships of 1801
Ships of 1801 will play at Mabou's Strathspey Place on
Saturday Sept 14th at 8pm. Tickets now on sale:
http://www.strathspeyplace.com/ships-of-1801-theatrical-concert/
Ships of 1801 asks: Who will remember? This theatrical concert
commemorates the music, dancing, humour, and storytelling that early
Scottish settlers brought with them to Nova Scotia when they arrived in
Pictou in 1801. Five ships sailed from Scotland that year – The Sarah, The
Norah, The Dove, Hope, and Good Intent. The people’s music and culture
helped them cope with the hazardous ocean voyage, tragic loss of life,
deplorable on-board conditions, and the great uncertainty of their futures.
The concert features live original music, dance, and Gaelic verse performed
in period costume with a cast of local and nationally recognized performers.

‘Clach-mhìle’ Sgoil na Gàidhlig air a moladh
Gaelic school 'landmark' praised
http://www.paisleydailyexpress.co.uk/renfrewshire-news/scottish-news/2013/08/16/gaelic-school-landmark-praised-8708533736062/
The opening of Edinburgh's first dedicated Gaelic school has been hailed as a "landmark day" for the capital.
A total of 213 pupils, including 53 primary one youngsters, have enrolled for the new school, where lessons will be
taught entirely in Gaelic.
Bun-sgoil Taobh na Pairce has been developed on the site of the old Bonnington primary school in Leith.
The school, which has 30 Gaelic-speaking staff, replaces the Gaelic medium education unit that had been based in
the capital's Tollcross primary since 1982.
Alasdair Allan, minister for learning and Scotland's languages, said: "This is an exciting day as Bun-sgoil Taobh na
Pairce pupils get into their new school for the first time.
"A lot of work has gone into reaching this landmark day and I would like to congratulate the staff and pupils, and
wish them all the very best for the coming terms. I look forward to visiting again in September when they will have
had a chance to settle in."

BUIN GÀIDHLIG na h-ALBANN NUAIDHE – ORIGINS OF NOVA SCOTIA GAELIC
'S ann an Gàidhlig na h-Albann a tha buin Gàidhlig na h-Albann Nuaidhe agus mar Ghàidhlig na h-Éireann agus
Ghàidhlig Mhanainn, tha i 'na ball de mheur teaghlach nan cànainean Ceilteach ris an canar 'Goidelic' (Gàidhlig). Tha
Gàidhlig na h-Albann Nuaidhe air a bhith 'ga bruidhinn anns a' Roinn againn bho chionn co dhiùbh 1773. Lìonmhor
mar a tha i ann an òrain, ceòl dualchasach na fìdhle 's na pìoba, dannsa-ceumaidh, seanchas, cleachdaidhean is
creideamh, tha a' Ghàidhlig a' cur ri iomadachd chultarach, shòisealta, oideachail, is eaconomach co-chomann na hAlbann Nuaidhe.
Nova Scotia Gaelic has its origins in Scottish Gaelic and, like Irish Gaelic and Manx, is a branch of the family of Celtic
languages. It has been spoken in our province since at least 1773 and is rich in cultural expression through song,
traditional fiddle and pipe music, step dancing, storytelling as well as customs and beliefs. NS Gaelic continues to make
cultural, social, educational and economic contributions to Nova Scotia society.
