Dwelly's Gaelic Dictionary is one of the most important works of Scottish scholarship, and an indispensable reference guide for a century of Gaels since its first publication in 1901. This programme examines the amazing achievement of Edward Dwelly, who originally undertook the compilation for his own private use.
