Scríobh Maolcholaim Scott an réamhrá do ‘The Other Tongues: An Introduction to Writing in Irish, Scots Gaelic and Scots in Ulster and Scotland’, a seoladh le déanaí. Labhraíonn sé le Máire Bhreathnach faoin leabhar sin, faoina shaol ag fás aníos i Lios na gCearrbhach agus athair s’aige ina mhinistir Preispitéireach ann, faoina shuim sa Ghaeilge agus ar go leor leor eile. Maolcholaim Scott wrote the introduction to the recently launched ‘The Other Tongues: An Introduction to Writing in Irish, Scots Gaelic and Scots in Ulster and Scotland’. He talks to Máire Bhreathnach about the book, about his life growing up as the son of a Lisburn Presbyterian Minister, about his interest in Irish language, and about much more besides.
