Can You Pronounce these Scottish Clan Names?

Think you know how to pronounce Scottish names? In this video, Dr. Aonghas MacCoinnich, a native Gaelic speaker from the Isle of Lewis and lecturer at the University of Glasgow joins me to uncover the real pronounciation of the names of many prominent Scottish clans, some of their most famous chiefs, and the colorful nicknames applied to them (in some cases, long after they were safely deceased). We've been pronouncing many of these names wrong. Some of these names have been used by English speakers from many generations but are pronounced MUCH differently than their original Gaelic forms - Donald, Dugal, Kenneth, and Robert (not a Gaelic name but pronounced differently in Gaelic). In this video, we'll break down the language, sounds, and history behind these names. If you're into Scottish history, the clans, or Gaelic culture, this is your chance to connect with Scottish heritage on a deeper level - and maybe fix a few pronounciation mistakes along the way.
