Ainmean-àite ann an Ìle agus Diùra - Place-names in Islay and Jura
A' Ghàidhlig air Aghaidh na Tìre / Gaelic in the Landscape
Tha ainmean-àite Ìle agus Dhiùra loma-làn de dh’ainmean lusan is fiadh-bheatha ionadail. Tha iad cuideachd a’ toirt iomradh air na h-obraichean san robh daoine an sàs air tìr is aig fairge, agus uaireannan tha iad a’ cumail air ar teangaidhean ainmean charactairean sònraichte ionadail nach maireann. Airson an leabhair seo thug muinntir an àite dhuinn an t-eòlas mionaideach, prìseil a th’ aca air na h-eileanan seo, eòlas a thugadh sa Ghàidhlig bho ghinealach gu ginealach.
Islay and Jura’s place-names are alive with descriptions of the local plants and wildlife, people’s activities on the land and at sea, and in some cases they immortalise some colourful local characters. For this book, members of the community have shared their precious and intimate knowledge of the islands that has been passed down, in Gaelic, over generations.
