The Little Letter for Gaelic Learners show

Summary: A little book came out recently. It gives information about a dialect in the Highlands. There are only two people who speak the dialect today. It is not a Gaelic dialect, however, but a Scots dialect. It’s the “Cromarty Fisherfolk Dialect” that people call this speech. The two who are fluent are the brothers Bobby and Gordon Hogg. They live in Cromarty. Their ancestry in Cromarty goes back as far as 1698.
