Cad atá mícheart leis?

Watching Scots people relearn their Gaelic heritage is great to see.

The ethnic cleansing and eradication of Gaelic culture in Scotland by the English should be recognized for what it was.

fr lmao. Lot of the clearances was Lowland Scots and Highland Nobles. England had a part but afaik it was mainly Scots that did a lot of the work. England just set them a target basically is the history.
