You may have heard of Up Helly Aa, Shetland’s viking fire festival. What you might not know is that for decades, people have campaigned to allow women and girls to be participate in the main festival. This year, for the first time, women and girls participated. Just wonderful.

Busy afternoon in sweltering Scottish sunshine creating designs for a container mural and signs to decorate a growing space. Lovely and productive end to a few day’s travelling about chatting art, place and big ideas. 🌱

Gaelic speakers have been told for centuries to be ashamed of their language for having no place in the world today. To paraphrase the Mealabost Bàrd, that stops here. No longer should we be abashed to use a language that is consistently beset on all sides by dominant powers.
I hope this isn’t the impression most have gotten so far this week. Co dhiù, cha ghabh a h-uile duine shàsachadh.

Are young people from the Highlands and Islands who wish to study in their communities - or closer to them - somehow uniquely not entitled to pursue non-vocational “vanity courses”? inverness-courier.co.uk/news…
