While I don’t have much Gaelic (at a push I can recognise the odd word) I have been to Islay’s neighbour Gigha a couple of times, most recently for several days in 2023. It’s a beautiful island with great people, well worth a visit, be it for longer or a for a day trip (I think you can get a RIB day tour from Islay? Anyone know more? Leave a comment or send me a message). Found this very enjoyable video, where Gordon (who is learning Gaelic) is talking about his visit to Gigha:
If you (like me) don’t have much/any Gaelic, don’t worry, English subtitles are provided. Just like Gordon I can only recommend a visit to the Boathouse restaurant and the Twin Beaches.
Now I’ll have to check if Gordon has also been to Islay (Ìle) and/or Jura (Diùra), I very much suspect he might have been. But that’s for another post (assuming he has been), for now enjoy his visit to Gigha.
