About this Event
Tha An Necropolis, no Cladh Mòr Ghlaschu, na shamladh Ghlaschu aig àirde a cumhachadh mar an Dàrna Bhaile anns an Ìmpireachd Bhreatainn. Am measg an fheadhainn a tha air an tòrradh anns an cladh tha innleadairean, luchd-togail soithich, innlichean – is Gàidheil. Air an cuairt seo, cluinnidh sibh sgeulachdan nan Gàidheal a thàinig a Glaschu, is am buaidh a bh’ acasan air a’ bhaile is air Alba air fad thar na bliadhnaichean.
Air a chur air dòigh leis an sgioba Gàidhlig aig Àrainneachd Eachdraidheil Alba ann am com-pàirteachas le Friends of the Necropolis, bidh an tachartas seo a’ gabhail a-steach cuairt stiùirichte air a lìbhrigeadh ann an Gàidhlig. Bidh cupa is cabadaich às dèidh an tachartais ann an Taigh-tasgaidh Ceann Tighearna, le cothrom ur cuid Gàidhlig a chleachdadh gu mì-fhoirmeil le daoine ùra.
Bidh an tachartas seo ann an Gàidhlig a-mhàin, ach le duilleagan-briathrachais ri fhaighinn, is e cothrom a bhios ann faclan ùr ionnsachadh.
Tha an tachartas seo saor an-asgaidh, ach tha fàilte air tiodhlaicean don a’ Charthannas Friends of the Necropolis.

The Necropolis, or Cladh Mòr Ghlaschu, is a symbol of Glasgow at the height of its power as the Second City of the British Empire. Among those buried in the graveyard are engineers, ship builders, inventors – and Gaels. On this tour, you’ll hear the stories of some of the Gaels who came to Glasgow, and the influence they had on the city and on Scotland over the years.
Organised by the Gaelic team at Historic Environment Scotland in partnership with Friends of the Necropolis, this event will include a guided tour delivered in Gaelic. There will be a cuppa and chat afterwards in St Mungos’ Museum of Religious Life, with an opportunity to use your own Gaelic informally with new folk.
This event is entirely in Gaelic, but with vocab sheets available, it’s an opportunity to learn some new words.
This event is free, but donations to the charity Friends of the Necropolis are welcome.
