I don’t live on the islands yet have a sense of what you mean and know about cianlas , and the closely related Welsh word ‘hiraeth’ which is also about longing. Whenever I visit I can’t wait to return and feel a great affinity, embracing the spirit of the place.
I’ve visited the Hebrides for many years and am currently awaiting ( with baited breath!) the possible publication of a book in which I’ve written about these islands and their people.
Keep up the good work!!
