Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Always Argyll (Jamieson, McCrone)
I'm afraid only the scenery is left. Schools have reduced rolls and most of the housing bought up by early retiring English folk looking for a wee place in the "hielans" next to no work except care assistants to look after the oldies.....We used to have a great piping Summer School where most of the young ones learned and a great community spirit with weekly concerts......all gone with the language and houses too expensive for locals to buy or rent. My haven't we progressed?
