Barrachd air a Mhòd

 Steven Kellow    Gàidhlig

Shaoil mi gum bu chòir dhomh beagan a sgriobhadh air a bhlog seo ann an Gàidhlig airson a chanan a cleachdadh barrachd ‘s ‘s docha deiligeadh le cuspair neo dha Gaidhealeach ann an doigh nas nàdarraiche. Thainig Mòd Rioghail am bliadhna gu crìch seachdainn seo chaidh ann am Pàislig.  Gu cinnteach bha e soirbheachail, le faisg air 3,000 neach a gabhail pàirt, an ìre as airde bhon Mòd 2009 san t-Òban.  Tha e math fhaicinn gu bheil an fhèis air a dheànamh cho math ann — Read more →

More Than The Mod

 Steven Kellow    Gàidhlig

This post is an English translation of the original post “Barrachd air a Mhòd“. This year’s Royal National Mod came to a close last weekend in Paisley.  It was certainly successful, with close to 3,000 participants, the highest level since the 2009 Mod in Oban.  It’s good to see that the festival is doing so well in a town that doesn’t have much of a connection with the language.  I’m full of optimism that the next Mod, in Inverness, near my hometown of Dingwall, will — Read more →

Every minute of every day, there are 72 HOURS of video uploaded to YouTube, 2 million Google searches, 6 million Facebook views, 15,000 iTunes downloads and hundreds, if not thousands, of news stories published.

Its’ millions of users post links — Read more →

The Independence Referendum: The Final Stretch

 Steven Kellow    Politics  

It’s not long now until the campaigning around the Scottish independence referendum kicks into high gear ahead of the vote next year on the 18th of September.  With the SNP conference underway in Perth, I thought I’d detail the the independence debate as it stands at the moment, and where I stand on certain key issues. Never before in my lifetime have I seen campaigning of any political nature such a long way before the polls, apart from US Presidential Elections. This is, undoubtedly, the — Read more →

A Bright Future for Scotland?

 Steven Kellow    Football  

Another Scotland qualifying campaign has ended without a success, the 8th in a row, But for the first time in five years, I believe we have a decent chance at ending the barren run and qualifying for Euro 2016. First of all, we finished in the group where we were expected to. With the powerhouses of Belgium and Croatia, currently two of the top ten ranked sides in the world, we weren’t in with much of a chance of getting the place we needed to samba in — Read more →
