Ramsay MacMahon takes to the hills of Edinburgh with lawyer and academic Rob Dunbar. Through personal stories and humorous anecdotes, Canadian-born Rob reflects on his life and where it has taken him.

With breathtaking vistas over the city, the pair traverse two of Edinburgh’s seven hills; Braid and Blackford. Rob tells Ramsay how he ended up in Scotland and how his career has straddled law and academia.

Rob tells of his early days learning Gaelic in Canada and of his own Scottish ancestry and the two ponder the future of the Gaelic language as they walk.

Tha Ramsay MacMahon, cuide ris an fhear lagha agus acadaimigeach Rob Dunbar, a’dèanamh air cnuic Dhùn Èideann. Tro sgeulachdan pearsanta agus seanchasan beaga èibhinn tha Rob, a rugadh ann an Canada, a’meòmhrachadh air a bheatha thuige seo.

Le seallaidhean air leth àlainn den bhaile-mhòr, tha am paidhir aca a’ dìreadh dhà a-mach a seachd chnuic Dhùn-Eideann; A’ Bhràghaid agus An t-Àth Dubh. Tha Rob ag innse do Ramsay carson a thàinig e a dh’Alba agus mar a tha dhreuchd eadar obair laghail agus obair acadaimigeach.

Cluinnidh sinn ma làithean òige, mar a thòisich Rob ag ionnsachadh Gàidhlig ann an Canada agus ma shinnsireachd Albannach. Tha iad le chèile a’ cnuasachadh air staid na Gàidhlig san àm ri teachd.
