A journey to Lewis and Harris
Posted: Thu Oct 17, 2013 9:26 pm
Hello everyone !
(I'm sorry if my English is bad, I do my best !)
First, I hope that my message will be seen As I said in my presentation, I want to go a journey in isles of Lewis and Harris. I will talk about it a bit more in this thread.
So, I'm a French 17 years old (soon 18), and I LOVE Scotland. I have never been there, so it may seems weird for you to hear that, but that's the truth. I'm really interested in Scottish's history, its landscapes, its mythes, its cities ... Since 2 years I want to go a journey in Scotland, and I found an assocation that helps us to go. Zellidja for French-speakers This association gives us some money (not so much) to go a journey for at least 1 month, alone, where we want to. I will send my project to this association, and I hope that I will be accepted.
But now let's talk about my project.
My journey's topic is ... Gàidhlig ! Yes, I want to know more about this language. I want to know more about people who speak that language. I want to know more about places where this language is spoken ! So I will, for 1 month, surely August -> September 2014, cross the isles of Lewis and Harris by my feet (yeah, I have 1 month for that, I think it's enough ). Starting from Stornoway, I will go along the coast, from north to south, and then come back to north (for Stornoway's airport).
My goal is to meet people. I want to meet you, if you're reading this message and you live in Lewis & Harris.I know that it must seems weird ... But I really want, and I need to meet people to talk.
In fact, I will sleep in a tent a lot of nights, but when I'll reach a village, I will do my best to spend some time with everyone who is ok with that !
I will take a lot of notes, a lot of informations about the language and the isles, and then I'll do a report of my journey for the association (and for me of course !)
Well, to sum up that, does someone here live in Lewis & Harris ? If yes, is this person interested by my journey ? I need some contacts to go on my journey, it's better to present my project to the association. And I would be really pleased to meet someone from this board !
Thanks for reading me.
If you have questions or something, feel free to ask !
Bien à vous,
Tony.
