‘Deciphering the Language of our Local Landscape’ – now available to view the recording.

An illustrated talk presented by Colin Liddell to the Breadalbane Heritage Society on Friday, 17th November, 2023. 

During the Covid lockdown, Colin, a long-standing supporter of, and a speaker to, the Breadalbane Heritage Society, researched and endeavoured to translate all of the Gaelic place names noted on maps within 175 square miles surrounding Pitlochry.  He explained why and how he did this, and illustrated a number of fascinating features of the life carried on in the foothills of Highland Perthshire and beyond, which have been revealed through his translations.
