Join the Gaelic Texts Society in partnership with the University of Edinburgh's Celtic and Scottish Studies for the highly anticipated annual Canna Lecture.

We are delighted to announce that this year's Canna Lecture will be delivered by Dr. Priscilla Scott, a renowned expert on the Gaelic literature of the nineteenth century, with a particular focus on the significant contributions of women in Gaelic literary history.

During her lecture, Dr. Scott will delve into the captivating world of Màiri Mhòr nan Òran, also known as Mary MacPherson.

This event presents a unique opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of Mary MacPherson's awe-inspiring praise songs.

Edinburgh Castle is worth a visit. It is an important symbol of Scotland and Edinburgh. It is located on the top of the Castle Rock in Edinburgh. It is very obvious and can be seen from every corner of the city center. It is 120 meters above sea level and you can overlook the whole city of Edinburgh from above.

&quot;Bagpipes sound from afar, I only care about your news.
The castle keeps secrets for love, and I keep memories for you.&quot;
This is the location of Jay Chou&#39;s MV &quot;Obviously&quot;,
and it is also the birthplace of J.K. Rowling&#39;s creation of &quot;Harry Potter&quot;.
If you dream of a medieval city in a magical world,
then you must come here in this life.
Every building is a natural movie background,
and every corner seems to hide a secret passage to another world.
In the end, when the sunset on Calton Hill confiscated time,
Edinburgh, becoming amber that never fades, will always remain in my memory.
