Have you ever heard of the guga?
A new photographic book will be launched by Acair in the middle of September
brimful of wonderful black and white photographs taken by the late James MacGeoch
in the fifties. The book has been brought together by his daughter, Catriona, along with
John Love and Finlay Macleod.
The book contains one hundred and twenty photographs from that time, a strong photographic narrative of all the stages of the work involved. An account by James MacGeoch himself is an added feature of the book as is a CD containing a recording by him of the men during morning family worship in one of the stone bothies.
At Acair we are planning a launch where a taste of guga will be available to all –
a kind of guga nibble with wine and other refreshments.
We’re looking forward to a good night!
Available in hardback at £20.00 and in softback at £16.00
An cuala sibh a-riamh mun ghuga?
Tha Acair a’ lainseadh leabhar ùr dhealbhan ann am meadhan na Sultain loma làn de dhealbhan an dubh ’s an geal a chaidh a thogail le James MacGeoch sna còigeadan. Chaidh an leabhar a chur ri chèile le a nighean, Catrìona, còmhla ri John Love agus Fionnlagh MacLeòid.
Tha ceud agus fichead dealbh bhon àm sin san leabhar, a’ toirt inneas mionaideach air obair nan gugannan. Tha sgrìobhadh le MacGeoch fhèin ann cuideachd a tha a’ cur ris an leabhar ach a bharrachd air sin tha CD dhe na fireannaich a’ gabhail an leabhair sa mhadainn ann an tè dhe na bothagan cloiche ri fhaighinn an cùl an leabhair.
Tha sinne aig Acair a’ cur air chois lainse far am faigh na bhios an làthair blasad beag dhen ghuga air an oidhche còmhla ri fìon agus deochan eile.
