Postgraduate Gaelic 2024-2025

GH5503: UNDERSTANDING GAELIC SCOTLAND THROUGH VERSE AND SONG

30 credits

Level 5

Second Term

This course explores how the Scottish Gaels have proclaimed their world view through song and verse: sometimes using the styles and techniques of learned bards and often through song passed down orally among the generations. It will demonstrate the deep association with place and the determination across the centuries to preserve Gaelic language and culture often in the face of extreme adversity.  No knowledge of the Gaelic language is required to undertake the course.
