My Great Aunt Fiona was from Arran and spoke Gaelic. She died in the late 90s. She must've been at least in her 70s, but maybe her 80s. There are no recordings of her and my Scottish family had no interest in her mother tongue, so I'll never be sure if she spoke Arran Gaelic or not. I like to think so, though.

It's a heck of a lot closer to Irish than I suspected! Although, judging by the fact that ourselves in Cowal would have used 'gu robh math agad/agaibh', would that not have been true of Arran? I have never heard anyone south of Skye using 'Tapadh leat/leibh'....
'eil gu leòr a Ghàidhlig agad ma-tà 'ille? :)

Sounds much like Irish. Too bad this dialect didn't survive; it's beautiful...
-
this sounds realistic. well-done. BTW, check morphology of this dialect on wiki. i speak gaelic and irish gaelic, and this, according to wiki and comparing different kinds of gaelic, it seems this man has done a decent job at it.

@LLanidloesywddar Because his father's gamekeeper spoke it and he learnt it from him.

The only other man I ever heard speaking Arran Gaelic was James Angus Graham, 7th Duke of Montrose. :-)

@UISTMAN59
really? wow. He must have been one of the last speakers then. The language had been declining since about 1900, there were still a large amount of speakers in the 50s, but in the 19s I think the last speaker died :( Why did the Duke speak Arran Gaelic?
