Graham Cooper

Rugadh agus thogadh Graham Cooper ann an ear-thuath na h-Alba. Cheumnaich e à Oilthigh Obar Dethain mar dhotair agus thàinig e gu bhith na dhotair lannsa. Ged a chaidh a’ mhòr chuid den obair aige a dhèanamh ann an Alba, chuir e seachad ùine ann an Èirinn a Tuath, Sasainn agus Nepal.

 An dèidh dha a dhreuchd a leigeil dheth, thòisich e Gàidhlig ionnsachadh. Rinn e clasaichean oidhche ann an Obar Dhethain agus e cùrsa no dhà aig Sabhal Mòr Ostaig. 

 Tha e an-diugh a’ fuireach ann an Siorrachd Obar Dhethain far a bheil e fhathast a’ gabhail pàirt ann an tachartasan Club Gàidhlig.

Graham was born and brought up in the North East of Scotland and graduated from the University of Aberdeen in medicine, embarking on a surgical career. Although most of his work was done in Scotland, he spent time in Northern Ireland, England and Nepal. 

After retiring, he began learning Gaelic at local night classes and consequently enrolled in some courses at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig. He lives in rural Aberdeenshire now where he still participates in local Gaelic classes and events.
