Scotland on Sunday le Micheal Glove:
'The culture, and economy, of the Western Isles require particularly careful attention, not just because geography has stacked the dice against the islanders. And not just because globalisation has made it more difficult to stand out against the tide. The Gaelic culture and language of the West is one of Scotland's most precious inheritances. Our nation has become a warm home for many peoples over the years, but the foundations on which Scotland were built were Celtic. To allow that culture, and the communities in which it survived, to wither is more than just a betrayal of thousands, its a blow struck at Scotland's roots. The investment we make now in supporting Gaelic broadcasting, teaching and culture is as vital a part of maintaining our heritage, and ensuring it can be passed on to future generations, as any other environmental intervention. It is a crucial part of the battle against "global norming" – the reduction of all cultures to one homogenous whole.'
