This chapter samples and contextualises some of the multi-faceted Gaelic contributions by the multi-talented creative icon, Norman Maclean, to the Guthan nanEilean ‘Island Voices’ online language capture and curation project. These include,in particular, Norman’s final Saoghal Thormoid ‘Norman’s World’ series of videoedconversations, recorded in April 2016 in which he spoke reflectively of his memories and impressions of bilingual life in Glasgow and the Hebrides from the middle of the Twentieth Century onwards. In addition to offering a vivid first-personvoiced and experiential account of Gaelic life over a tumultuous period for thelanguage, the Island Voices adherence to basic linguistic principles pays dividendsin relation to some initially unpredicted spin-off applications, with potential forfurther development.
