A bheil cuimhne agad air na leabhraichean #Gàidhlig seo bho na 80an?
Since @natlibscot are #Talking80s we thought we'd see how many of these #Gaelic books you recognise! We still have a good few in stock (sadly not Pàdraig am Bus Trang, which looks fun)

An e mion-chànan a th' innte?

No cànan airson Alba air fad?
