From the Bird's Mouth - Bho Bheul an Eòin

Lodged by Ariane Burgess (Scottish Green Party) Standard Motion 17 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament supports Bho Bheul an Eòin (From the Bird’s Mouth), which is a project giving Gaelic names to some of Scotland’s newly-arrived nature which, it understands, is migrating to Scotland due to the changing climate; recognises what it sees as the value of connecting to the landscape through language, tradition and culture; celebrates this initiative by the acclaimed wildlife artist, Derek Robertson; believes that it will help to maintain Gaelic's rich, cultural link with the changing ecology of the landscape in which it is embedded; notes the involvement of NatureScot and Bòrd na Gàidhlig; understands that the project is consulting with scientists, researchers and Gaelic writers, to give a voice to nature, and hopes that projects such as Bho Bheul an Eòin will invigorate the use of Gaelic in everyday life.
