Gaelic
Tha Raghnaid Sandilands na sgrìobhaiche is na neach-ealain a tha mealadh dualchas na Gàidhlig na h-obair. Tha a h-obair an dràsta a’ coimhead ri mapadh mar dhòigh a bhith a’ moladh; frith-mhapadh no counter mapping a tha a’ clàradh bàidh is a’ dèanamh ath-chuinge socair gus ar daimh ri eag-eòlasan na sine is prìseil a’ cuimhneachadh, leithid a tha ri fhiaghinn ann am bloighean de sheann choille dhùthchasach. Bha na badan coille seo aithnichte is ainmichte le daoine aig an robh d`aimh dhan tìr. A’ coimhead na rannsachadh ri òrain, sgeulachdan is ainmean-àite, tha i a’ tarraing còmhla na snàithlean sin agus a’ cur gu feum na dathan sònraichte a thig bho còinneach is rùsg na coille agus cruth na coille san tìr.
Thathar air saothair Raghnaid a thaisbeanadh aig leithid Fragile Correspondence Scotland | Venice 2024, V&A DunDè agus Buaile 2025, taisbeanadh luchd-ealain air am brosnachadh le cànan is cultar na Gàidhlig.

Raghnaid Sandilands is a writer and artist whose work draws Gaelic culture. Her current counter mapping serves as both a record of affection and a quiet petition to nurture our relationship with the precious ecologies of old-growth forest fragments, once known and named by people deeply connected to the land. Looking to song, lore, and naming, she draws on these connecting threads of Gaelic culture in her research, exploring the subtle colours of windfall bark, lichens, and the organic forms of forests.
Raghnaid’s work has been displayed in exhibitions including Fragile Correspondence Scotland | Venice 2024, exhibited also at the V&A Dundee and at Buaile 2025, an exhibition of artists inspired by Gaelic language and culture.
