A daily current for the Scottish Gael — and anyone eavesdropping.

Fàilte

Not all who wander are lost — Tolkien said that, and he wasn't Scottish, but we'll claim him anyway.

This issue is a bit of a hotch-potch. A wander through the things that caught our eye, made us laugh, made us hungry, and sent us down more than one rabbit hole. We make no apology for that.

Anns a' Ghàidhlig, 's ionann a bhith air seachran agus a bhith air chall — ach 's dòcha gur e sin as fheàrr.
Wandering and being lost are alike. But perhaps that's exactly the point.

Thigibh còmhla rinn.

THE KILTED KING ON BROADWAY!!!

Harry Lauder conquered Broadway before Broadway knew what hit it. The highest-paid performer in the world by 1911, the first UK artist to sell a million records, and the first Knight of the music hall — and most of you have never heard of him. Is mòr am beud e. Jamie MacDougall is fixing that.

Lauder: Scotland's Kilted King of Broadway is at 59E59 Theaters in Manhattan through June 7th — seventy-five minutes, no interval, five stars, and not a single moment you'll want back. Gun teagamh sam bith.
You have until June 7th. That's enough time to get to New York, find an overpriced hotel room, take a ride on a ferry and have the time of your life. Drop the sruth. editors a line for pub and restaurant recommendations — agus 's dòcha they'll just invite you out for a dram or deich. Cèilidh anyone?

Roamin' in the Gloamin' indeed. Bi ann. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

TRADITIONAL SCOTTISH MORNING ROLLS

Roileagan Maidne agus Baby Brain — 'S e Bean Albannach a th' innte.

Somewhere in Tennessee, a Scottish woman with baby brain and a bag of rice flour is making morning rolls from scratch and the internet is absolutely losing its mind over it. Agus tha iad ceart.

The Scottish Wife has found her people on TikTok and Instagram — and one taste of her morning rolls would tell you exactly why. Air an dhèanamh le do làmhan fhèin. In Tennessee. Carson nach eil?

Her repertoire reads like a love letter to every Scottish granny who ever lived — tablet, potato scones, caramel tarts, Victoria sponge, millionaire shortbread — each one made with the kind of casual confidence that suggests she learned this not from a cookbook but from standing in a kitchen watching someone who really knew what they were doing. Tha fios aice dè air na tha i a' dèanamh.

Roileagan maidne in the American south. Chan eil dad nas fheàrr ann.

Follow her. Make the rolls. Don't tell your doctor about the tablet.

'S math sin.
