This book tackles the thorny issue of Scottish Gaelic pronunciation in an engaging and clear manner without loosing track of the bigger picture and the fine detail. It was written with three main reader groups in mind: <ul>
<li>
Adult learners of Gaelic (from total beginner up to highly advanced learners who want to improve their pronunciation and comprehension skills)</li> <li>
Teachers and tutors of Gaelic who wish to become more effective in teaching pronunciation to adult learners of the language</li> <li>
Native speakers of the language who wish to gain a better understanding of how their language works.</li> </ul>
It assumes no prior knowledge and takes the reader on a complete journey through the marvels of the Gaelic sound system. It comes with over 120 sets of exercises, numerous sound files that can be accessed via the publisher's website, both technical and entertaining illustrations and a recipe for some Christmas baking. No single solution will ever exist which will solve all the problems facing the learners of Gaelic when it comes to pronunciation but, without doubt, this book will help learners and teachers of the language take a large step forwards.

The first edition of this classic dictionary was published more than a hundred years ago in 1901 and it has been the "Great Gaelic Dictionary" ever since. Instead of a lithographic reproduction this edition is newly typeset. This has allowed us to increase the font size slightly and, as a result, the text is much clearer than ever before. Small things were adjusted: typos, errors in the alphabetic ordering and the orthography has been tweaked a wee bit regarding some inconsistencies. The illustrations were digitally cleaned and they too are now much clearer, especially the numbering on the more complex illustrations. No new terms have been added, so it's "Dwelly virtually the way he always was but easier to read".

Dwelly, Edward

R nan and Ciorstag visit their grandmother on the croft and the dog promptly zooms off to tell all the animals the news. While he's doing that, we also find out what all the animals say in Gaelic - from the brown Highland cow and her calf, the duck and her ducklings, the geese, the cockerel and the hens, the horse and donkey to the bees and the cat and all the other animals on the croft - even the whale. Yes, the whale says something in Gaelic and if you didn't know that, here's your chance to find out. The Gaelic audio can be downloaded from the publisher's website.

Historical

Robert Burns' poetry is renowned both in Scotland and abroad and translations of his works have appeared in many languages from French to Latin, German to Russian and many others. Less well known is the fact that Gaelic translations featured amongst those early translations, perhaps due to the fact that many of them appeared scattered across different magazines, books and pamphlets For the very first time, this book brings together all these one handy publication.

This re-publication combimes the SSPCK Gaelic Bible and the translation of the Apocrypha in a single lectern bible edition.  It has been edited with a light hand, including fixing of typos and adjustment of some very archaic words and spellings (for example sE sia, faghail faotuinn, a ta a tha) and some of the internally irregular spellings contained in the original publications have been aligned and accents have been put on capital letters  Otherwise, this edition is largely faithful to the originals.
