STARS of hit TV show Outlander have lent their support to Gairloch Heritage Museum’s fundraising efforts with the offer of Outlander goodies.
Gairloch Heritage Museum has launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise the final £60,000 required for its proposed new museum and it has teamed up with Adhamh O’Broin, Gaelic consultant for Outlander, to offer rewards.
They include a limited number of Gaelic dictionaries signed by members of the cast, including Sam Heughan, who plays Jamie Fraser, and Gaelic lessons with O’Broin.
O’Broin said: “Not many people are aware but Gairloch and Wester Ross have played an integral part to the creation of Outlander. We use the Wester Ross Gaelic dialect and I often called upon Gairloch man, the late Roddy Mackenzie, for advice.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
