Claare ny Gael 25th August 2019

Bob Carswell delivers a weekly programme of great Manx Gaelic broadcasting and entertainment. James Chalenor's written report of December 1653 to the man appointed to the Lordship of Man by the Commonwealth, Thomas Lord Fairfax, is describing the Island's natural resources, and we hear of birds and beasts before moving on to the bedrock. Our story in Manx is of two brothers, whom we discover obliquely are elective mutes, and their relationship with their father, ten years before he hanged himself in his barn.
