About Sealgar

Sealgar is the name of the company under which I -- Donald I. Macdonald trade. Before setting up Sealgar, I worked for Iomart as a Java™ application developer, then spent four years working for the BBC, particularly the Gaelic websites under bbc.co.uk/alba.

The name of the company is a slight anglicisation of the Gaelic word Sealgair, which means "a hunter" or "one who hunts". It is pronounced something like "shall-gar".

I live and work on the Isle of Lewis in the Western Isles of Scotland. (Click here for a Google Map view of the island.) I am a fluent Gaelic speaker.
