dùthchas

‘Dùthchas is a millennia-old Gaelic concept derived from the word ‘‘dùth”, meaning “earth” or “land”. Dùthchas stresses the interconnectedness of people, land, culture and an ecological balance among all entities, human and more than human” (Meighan 2022)

Welcome to the dùthchas project page with links to blog posts describing my long term on-going project about the places my Mackay ancestors knew from Sutherland to Wester Ross.
