Gaelic culture on exhibit at Museum of Natural History
HALIFAX — A group of students sits around a large wooden table and sing.
It’s called a milling frolic and it’s a scene that has played out many times since a Gaelic exhibit opened April 24 at the Museum of Natural History.
The students are singing a traditional milling song, “Moch ‘s a’ mhadainn,” which in English means “Early in the Morning.”
Visitors also get to spin yarn on a spindle and get the hands-on experience of what life was like — to some extent — for early Gaelic settlers in Nova Scotia.
