Gaeldom | Culture
.
Gaeldom has given us more than boiled mince in sheep stomach (Haggis) and the Highland Games. In fact, the true sport of the Gael is Shinty (see the Shinty sticks to the left) and one of the World's finest modern restaurants, The Three Chimneys, sits in the heart of Gaeldom. The Gaelic music scene whether at The Royal National Mod or at the Celtic Connections festival continues to expand, and Gaelic writers and poets - from Sorley Maclean to our very own Aonghas Pàdraig Caimbeul, Aonghas Macneacail and Iain Finlay Macleod - are bringing Gaelic life to an increasingly global audience. Gaeldom will always be responsible for the finest whisky and tweed , but with the region set to be a key provider of renewable energy to the UK and with the digital world eliminating the idea of Gaelic remoteness, Gaeldom is morphing and modernising in ways that is transforming its purpose, voice and standing in the world.
