| Burn the Witch! |
I popped along to Paisley on Friday night to take some photos of the Torchlight Parade organised to mark the opening of the Royal National Mòd, which is being held in the town for the first time. The parade marched from the top of the High Street to Paisley Town Hall, taking a break to inform us of the history of the language in the town and the persecution of those who spoke it, in particular women, who were, of course, deemed to be witches. It was a good night and interesting too even for someone like me who doesn't quite understand why we promote Gaelic so much, whilst ignoring Scots and other indigenous languages.
