Tha Ciorstain Beck, bean Anndaidh, air a bhith a' cumail taic ri Alba agus ris a' Ghàidhlig fad ùine mhòr. Mura b' e gun robh ùidh aicese annta, cha robh Andy fhèin air ùidh a ghabhail sa chànan agus anns An Lòchran!

San t-seagh sin, tha Ciorstain air na sgilean-fuaigheil agus -grèisidh iongantach aice a chur gu feum, 's i a' dèanamh cuilt shònraichte dhan Lòchran! Chithear sna dealbhan an dà thaobh dhen chuilt.

Nach eil coltas anabarrach math oirre? Nise, tha sinn a' toirt seachad na cuilt mar phàirt de thuras togail-airgid tro JustGiving. Thoir £10 (no barrachd na sin, ma tha thu ag iarraidh!) dhan Lòchran agus thèid d' ainm a chur ann an ad, 's am buannaiche ga thaghadh ro àm na Nollaig 2025. Faodaidh duine sam bith tabhartas a thoirt dhuinn, ach 's ann taobh a-staigh na Rìoghachd Aonaichte a-mhàin a dh'fhaodas sinn a' chuilt a chur tron phost.

Mar a sgrìobh sinn gu h-àrd, thèid gach tabhartas dhan Lòchran fhèin, carthannas na Gàidhlig a tha stèidhichte ann an Glaschu. Mòran taing airson taic a chumail rinn, agus "Suas leis a' Ghàidhlig!"

Kerstin Beck, wife of Andy, has long been a supporter of Scotland and the Scottish Gaelic language. If it weren't for her, Andy himself would never have got into the language and found An Lòchran!

On this basis, Kerstin has very kindly put her impeccable sewing and embroidery skills to use and made a personalised quilt for An Lòchran! Front and back as shown in the pictures.

Doesn't it look awesome? The quilt is being given away as part of a JustGiving fundraiser. Donate £10 (or more, if you wish!) to An Lòchran to get your name entered into the draw, which will take place prior to Christmas 2025. Anyone is welcome to donate, but the quilt can only be sent within the UK.

As mentioned above, all proceeds will go to An Lòchran, the Glasgow-based charity for Scottish Gaelic. Thank you for your support, and "Suas leis a' Ghàidhlig!"
