Scheduled to coincide with the 2019 Royal National Mòd and the UNESCO ‘International Year of Indigenous Languages’, GUGA: Exploring Gaelic Identities considers how historic perceptions of Gaelic culture have been formed and sustained, and asks what this culture, and its language, means in contemporary Scotland.
GUGA features both Gaelic and English texts plus must-see items from the collections of The Hunterian and University of Glasgow Archives and Special Collections. These include one of the oldest known Highland ‘Targes’, a Neolithic skeleton from Tiree, some of the earliest Gaelic printed books and a slideshow of images by award winning photographer Laetitia Vancon, offering a photo documentary of young people living on the Outer Hebrides.
Please note that GUGA is open from 11.00am - 4.00pm on Sundays. Admission is free.
