We want you to meet some of the most vibrant people in the Celtic world. Those who live their culture in a meaningful way from parents who raise their kids to speak Gaelic to the storytellers who keep the old stories alive. We'll be bringing you pipers and drummers, artists and musicians, writers and artisans.

Curling, golf, shinty, hurling — all Celtic sports. And don't forget Ba, the toughest, meanest sport in the world. In the capital of the Orkneys a town divided fights north/south to score a goal with the ball or 'ba. Over roofs, through homes, zigzagging up/down streets — it's no holds barred as each team is determined to win. Then when it's all over, for this game is played only on New Year's Day and these are Scots, both sides retire to the goal winner's home for more than a few drams.
