SHARED HERITAGE
 Bhí
nasc láidir cultúrtha ann riamh idir Éire agus
Alba agus mar thús ar Sheachtain na hAlbain ar Blas, labhraíonn
Lynette Fay le beirt saineolaithe ar an nasc cultúrtha sin.
Léachtóir is ea Iain Mac Phersain i Rinne na Litríochta
agus Teanga in Ollscoil Uladh Chúl Raithin. Rugadh agus tógadh
Iain in Edmonton, Ceanada agus thosaigh sé ag fhoghlaim Gaeilge
na hAlbain agus é ina dhéagóir. Is ball í
Róise Ní Bhaoill de Choiste Náisiúnta
Colmcille a raibh 'Iomairt Cholm Cille' air go dtí le gairid.
Is é cothú agus caomhnú nascanna teangan agus
cultúrtha idir Éire agus Alba is bun le hobair an
eagrais.
The shared cultural heritage of Ireland and Scotland is the specialist
subject of our first two guests of Scotland Week on Blas. Iain Mac
Phersain, an Academic Fellow of the School of Languages and Literature
at the University of Ulster, Coleraine, is a Canadian-born Gaelic
speaker who took up the language in his teens; and Róise
ní Bhaoill is a member of the national executive of the Colm
Cille organisation, formerly known as Iomairt Cholm Cille, which
aims to promote and preserve the cultural links between the two
countries.
