Recently, there have been two short items on BBC Scotland’s early Saturday morning radio programme ‘Out of Doors’ which relate to the activities of the Breadalbane Heritage Society.
First, following Colin Liddell’s excellent and informative talk ‘Deciphering the Language of our Local Landscape’ to the Society in November last year, he was interviewed by Rachel Stewart on how, with his own project during Covid lockdown, he went about translating and interpreting the Gaelic names to be found on Ordnance Survey maps covering an area of 175 square miles around Pitlochry, which was broadcast on Saturday, 23rd March. You can listen to this episode here:
If you wish to view the recording of his November talk when 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 he revealed through his translations, you can watch it here: ‘Gaelic Map Names’
Soon after that, Rachel interviewed Ian Stewart about the history of, and the involvement of the Breadalbane Heritage Society at, the small, private Killiechassie Burial Ground located beside the minor road between Weem and Strathtay.
This was broadcast on Saturday, 6th April and you can listen to the episode here:
