@pattymacl It was indeed Pat! A day he thought he'd never see!

It was wonderful to see 93-yr old Sandy Ritchie's reaction when he saw the Book of Deer manuscript in Aberdeen Art Gallery for the first time. As a founding member of the @bookof_deer Project, it meant a lot to him to see it loaned back to NE in summer of 2022.

There is a lot of terrific archaeological work being done across the north of Scotland and the brilliant BBC ALBA documentary “The Missing Monastery” will be on the BBC iPlayer for a few more days until December 20. It’s well worth watching! https://t.co/pTrptVXXpY

This is big news from northeast Scotland...where the oldest evidence of written Scottish Gaelic we know of was written by monks in the Book of Deer.

At some point
the monastery vanished, replaced by
the abbey in which you are standing
but always I knew I would find you,
knew when and where the scratchings
of my quill-tip would form into words in your ear.

On World Poetry Day I give you the beautiful poem composed by David Wheatley and gifted to The Book of Deer Project as a response to the "splendid little book" Enjoy!

[Book of Deer Project @bookof_deer]

Here,
I said, placing a finger over
the manuscript, is where two grammars
diverge, enlarging revelation
so that there are two St John
the evangelists now and Seth not Adam
was the first man.
