Dùthchas: A Gaelic word meaning “a feeling of belonging, of where everything is linked…Where you belong to the land, and the land belongs to you — there is no distinction. It’s like a hand in a glove. Everything fits in, and your culture is part of that as well, and everything you know that’s around you; every part of life that’s around you is all interlinked and interdependent, and it’s all about ancestry, knowing where you’ve come from and that you are a continuation of all that.” (One interpretation by Alice Starmore.)
