To celebrate World Gaelic Week, we’re delighted to host Nicky MacCrimmon for a fascinating talk exploring the forgotten history of Scottish Gaels’ contribution to Dundee’s industrial history, including why Gaels came to Dundee, where they came from, and the lives of Gaels in 19th century Dundee.
Nicky MacCrimmon is a researcher into the Gaelic placenames, history and folklore of eastern Scotland.
