I paint Gaelic murals around Glasgow

Advertisements

A mural artist from the Highlands is painting Glasgow’s streets with Gaelic words in an effort to promote interest in the language.

Katie Forbes, 28, began learning Gaelic in order to converse with her granny Annie in the latter’s first language, but her grandmother passed away before they had a chance to do so.

Driven to improve her Gaelic, Katie began to incorporate words into her murals – along with the phonetic spelling – to help non-speakers learn how to pronounce words.

Katie said she has applied the ethos of a Gaelic saying: “Is fheàrr Gàidhlig bhriste na Gàidhlig sa chiste.” This translates to: “It’s better to have broken Gaelic, than Gaelic in the coffin.”
