187 How Gaels Really Pronounce Scottish Clan Words (Pt 1)
Update: 2025-06-11
Description
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Aonghas MacCoinnich, lecturer at the University of Glasgow and native Gaelic speaker from the Isle of Lewis. Together, we explore the original Gaelic pronunciation of Scottish surnames, place names, and clan-related terms that many people—even those of Scottish descent—have never heard spoken correctly. Dr. MacCoinnich shares not only accurate pronunciations but also the cultural insights behind the language. If you’ve ever wondered how your Scottish surname should be said in Gaelic, this episode is for you.
