Description

It is time to bin – once and for all – the nonsense that Gaelic was never spoken in Glasgow. In fact, Glasgow's place-names tell us that Gaelic has been spoken in Glasgow for around a thousand years. Showcasing new research from the University of Glasgow, this illustrated guide to Glasgow's Gaelic namescape reveals how place-names are a key to unlocking Glasgow's hidden past and takes the reader on a journey of discovery the length and breadth of this great modern city – from Yoker in the west to Daldowie in the east, via Boclair, Carmunnock and many other places in between. The truth about Glasgow's past, present and future dispels myths and throws up countless surprises about Glasgow's deep Gaelic roots.

Author Biography:

Dr Alasdair C. Whyte is a Lord Kelvin/Adam Smith Research Fellow at the University of Glasgow. He was named Tosgaire na Gaidhlig/ Gaelic Ambassador of the Year by The Scottish Government at the Royal National Mod in Glasgow in October 2019. Professor Katherine Forsyth researches and teaches at the University of Glasgow with a focus on the Celtic early Middle Ages. Like many Glaswegians, her Gaelic-speaking ancestors migrated to the city in the 19th century and she is a learner of the language. Dr Simon Taylor of the University of Glasgow is the foremost expert on Scottish place-names. He has published extensively on Scotland’s place-names, including the five-volume series The Place-Names of Fife. He is General Editor of the Survey of Scottish Place-Names.
