Gaelic mountain recordings completed

A series of podcasts giving the pronunciaton of all the mountains of Scotland have been completed and are now online. Walkhighlands, which has been making the recordings to help non-Gaelic speakers to learn how to say the names, has just made available the recordings for all of the Grahams, the Scottish peaks between 2000 and 2500 feet. With the Corbetts (2500 feet to 3000) being completed last month and the Munros in 2008, hillgoers now have an online resource to help them with hill names across the country.

“I believe this is the first time that a complete set of pronunciation recordings covering the Munros, Corbetts and Grahams has been made available,” said co-founder Paul Webster. “The Grahams include some magnificent mountains, from Ben Venue in the Trossachs to individual peaks such as Stac Pollaidh and Suilven in the northwest. There are also some summits that many people find difficult to pronounce, such as Cnap Chaochan Aitinn“.
