When i was in Portree all i saw was Preachers in the wee square ranting and raving in gaelic, they were all queued up waiting there turn to rant..... very surreal.

Beautiful island though, Cuillens and the like.

Barra on the other hand is full of kids in Celtic tops. I was greeted by a large tricolour at the harbour as i got off the ferry. Only Catholic island I believe.

Missed this thread until now. Well I am sitting in my office ahead of the game with my Hibs jersey on. Only issue is I work from home so the hun hoards can't see me....yet.

I will be wearing it with pride tonight in The Misty hotel.

There will be other Hibees in various parts of the island doing the same.

As mentioned on another thread there are quite a few Hibees up here.

not that an island can be catholic but i know what you mean - given that definition Eriskay, South Uist and possibly Canna can be added to your list. Benbecula is border country!

you're right about Barra and celtic tops though, still I've converted at least one of them to the Hibees and am working on my ne

s there now.

Skye is a shit hole. So unwelcoming, full of little ****s too, most of Portree are people who have moved up from Glasgow too. It's not just Skye, on the mainland its hard to find someone who dosent support the Auld firm,and they never seem to change there tops, they wear them to do everything. Only know about 5 or 6 hibees from the mainland and Skye up heer.

At least in Lewis Gaelic still prevails. Here sadly the game is up and it has gone in a generation. My wife's grandmother could barely speak English, now I am not defending that but the norm now is if one person does not have the gaelic everyone speaks english "out of respect." It has killed the language.

Well from my Grandad working and living there for many years, working in a bar in Portree, and working in the pub in Dunvegan the misty..From going to these pubs with him and not noing the accent, but most were glaswegian, and now alot of the people i know from Portree way have moved from Glasgow. As for unwelcoming, they cause hassle, try to fight with there own shadows me goiing out there after football matches and them wanting to fight cause you play for the other team, or cause we are from the mainland? Defend that one pal?

I think you have something of an attitude problem. Now quite how you ended up working in the misty when you were 17 or younger.

It is easy to check the ethnic origin of most folk from here on the census and actually the biggest group at just under 50% are the English so at least on that one you are wrong.

You seem to have an issue with Glaswegians, actually there are not that many in Dunvegan, you may know some who were at school with in Portree you but that is more than less it. The parents not the kids and even then they have Skye roots a generation back.

I pretty well know most folk in Dunvegan. Quite simply you are talking drivel.

Did I say there is many glaswegians in Dunvegan? I know they are mostly farmers and so...Also i did not go to Primary school in Portree.....as for work in the Misty, again did i say i worked there....i went while my grandad worked there,but if you are asking how i would of got a job in there, i could be a dishwasher, waiter etc....doesent alone mean i have to work behind a bar?
I have no problems with Glaswegians, i have defended them many times of there stereotype of all being neds, when as i have been in Glasgow the people are very friendly more so than in Edinbrugh. And as for my attitude you are judging that by what 2 posts on a forum? It's just i dont like going for a night out in Skye when people want to fight with another group of lads cause they play for another football team, or because a bridge separates them.

Let's leave it son it is not worth the hassle. Go and read your own badly worded post:

"Well from my Grandad working and living there for many years, working in a bar in Portree, and working in the pub in Dunvegan the misty..From going to these pubs with him and not noing the accent, but most were glaswegian"

I am away to The Misty to enjoy myself watching the Hibs with whoever is in there and wherever they are from.

we know quite a few gaelic speakers in Skye - going to belladrum with a squad from your island next weekend infact. Sabhal Mor surely makes a difference?....they're mostly from Borve and Bernisadale iirc but gaelic is in all 3 generations of that lot. I suppose I may have a skewed picture as my wife know most of them through her time at the college but i'd not thought it as bad as the way you describe it.....

There are of course native speakers and learners from here and other places selkie but remember we have had a siginificant increase in our population in the last 30-40 years with the island having seen a 40% plus increase in its numbers. I have not seen statistics as to the number of incomers who have taken up gaelic but it will be very low. What that means is it is very difficult for gaelic to be part of every day life.

If I go into Dunvegan you might come across a couple of folk speaking to each other in gaelic but it is not that common these days.
