Summary: Ruairidh has a question for you this week? What do Tannochbrae, Balamory and Glendarroch have in common? Well, they’re all Scottish towns/villages. They were all on television programmes. And they are not real places. The names were made deliberately for a book or TV programme. In each name there is at least one Gaelic element. Balamory and Glendarroch are entirely from Gaelic. Rauiridh takes a deeper look at the Gaelic elements in this week’s letter. Accompanying text is available in both English and Gaelic at bbc.co.uk/litirbheag
