Fàilte/welcome to my Gaelic books page.
All books are written totally in Scottish Gaelic. You can access all my books through the Gaelic Books Council or contact me direct. Grumpa books are also available as e-books, links below.
If you are a learner or learner parent then the Broc books are great for simple phrases. You can just use a couple of sentences you are familiar with throughout the books to enjoy with your children or read them as written if you are more confident.
