Our mission is to aid global cultural preservation in the face of the commercialist white-washing that is sweeping the planet by attempting to assist in halting the fossilisation of Scotland's incredibly rich cultural pastiche.
We will seek out what still lives of our country's indigenous heritage in the hearts and minds of Scotland's people. We will knock on doors, traipse moors and drive miles with little but what we find to keep us going. We will do it in Gàidhlig, Lallan Scots and English. But we wont do it without help. Scotland's character, languages, and oral history are slipping out of being because of neglect -we need everyone who cares to get on board.
Where should we go? To whom should we speak? Where can we find Scotland still alive, behind the tat and the tourist shops, the faceless corporate brands and the integrity-less celebrity?
If you know of a place we should see, someone we should visit, or a something that may just cease to exist in the not-so-distant future, we want you to get in touch here and tell us all about it.
Even better, we'd love it if you went out there yourself and took a video or a soundclip of something precious and posted it up at the page (please ask permission of the people involved!).
But MOST IMPORTANTLY! Don't just record it! Re-internalise it, learn it, absorb it and pass it on to your children or there will cease to be a Scotland which is recognisable by virtue of its own character!
International Culture Vulturing warmly welcomed! Let's SHARE! :)
