Diugh means ‘today’ in Scottish Gaelic. Some say the writing is
in the sand for the language. Gaels speak of their unique
language and culture. But the Hebrides are also populated by
many ‘white settlers’. These incomers have been attracted by
jobs, cheap property, low crime, fresh air, the surf, empty
beaches, or to just escape. To these new locals, Gaelic culture
is as valid as any other and can sometimes be exclusive. Trying
to make Gaelic appealing in a modern context is an industry in
its own right. This picture was taken for Proiseact nan Ealan,
(The National Gaelic Arts Agency) to draw people’s attention to
the perilous state of the language.
