Uluru or Ayers Rock IT started with an innocuous visit to Auchinleck, and ended in an argument. No, this isn’t one of those archetypal Ayrshire junior football stories, but a tale of a letter that led us down an unexpected byway. It began on Monday with a plea from reader Andrew Turnbull for Gaelic to be brought back into public life. He added: “Why should Gaelic speakers have to anglicise their names?”. I decided to illustrate the point with a picture from our files of a bilingual road sign. As fate would have it, I chose Auchinleck, or Achadh nan Leac. And that’s where the trouble began.
