Explore the Gaelic language with a guided walk around Anstruther Harbour. Refreshments available afterwards at Dreel Halls.
This event has been organised in partnership with Fife Council and the Scottish Fisheries Museum for Seachdain na Gaidhlig www.seachdainnagaidhlig.scot Celebrating Scottish Gaelic across the globe 24th February – 2nd March 2025
Take a tour of the 16th century Category A listed St Nicholas tower and, weather permitting, step out onto the parapet for stunning views over Anstruther and out to the Isle of May.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, fisherfolk from all over Scotland came through Fife as they were following the herring. Women who worked as herring gutters sang in Gaelic as they worked in ports along the east coast. At this event, Meg Hyland will share examples of Gaelic songs sung by herring gutters of this era and discuss the linguistic and musical exchange that happened between speakers of Gaelic, Scots and English in the fishing industry. The audience will learn some songs and are welcome to join in the singing (but this is not compulsory).
Free entry, but please book a space in advance on www.scotfishmuseum.org. Please contact Julia Branch on 01333 310628 or julia@scotfishmuseum.org for more information
