Òran Mór

Glasgow

Great Western Road, Glasgow

The name Òran Mór comes directly from Scottish Gaelic, and it means:

“great melody of life” or “big song.”

A truly unique and stunning venue in the heart of Glasgow’s West End … Quoted from the Òran Mór website.

A very beautifully composed picture Joe. The bell tower is gracefully framed by two elegant lamps against a fine sky.
I like the meaning “ melody of life”, it’s very poetic.
I wonder whether Scottish Gaelic is still studied at school. I hope so.
I wish you an excellent weekend.
Best wishes

Joe, Son of the Rock replied to Adele:

Gaelic is taught in Scottish schools, but it appears in two distinct forms, each with different aims and levels of immersion. The current landscape is shaped by long‑term language policy, growing parental demand, and recent legislation that strengthens Gaelic’s status in education. The teaching of Gaelic is strongest in the Highlands, Islands, Glasgow, and Edinburgh. Thanks for your very kind comment, Adele. Have a good weekend! Cheers, Joe
