Talk: Gaelic Songs in Fife and the Herring Gutters

Date: 24th February 2024
Time: 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Location: Dreel Halls
Other Events

Join us for this talk and musical event.

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
