Aos Dàna - 'Songs of Gaelic Scotland' Anne Lorne Gillies
Anne Lorne Gillies presents her seminal book 'Songs of Gaelic Scotland' (Birlinn, 2005). A Scottish singer, songwriter, broadcaster, author and academic, Anne was raised on a croft in Argyll, when she began singing in early childhood and won the Mòd Gold Medal when she was only seventeen - the day before she left home to study Celtic and English at Edinburgh University. A fluent Gaelic speaker, she has been at the heart of the movement to regenerate Scotland’s ancient language and culture. As a writer she is equally at home in Gaelic and English. She has written scripts and screenplays, short stories and children’s novels, newspaper columns and an award-winning autobiography.Date: 28/07/06
