This website contains a total of 109 online HTML articles, some other pages, like the More detailed description page, and four pages via which a total of 44 separate and each unique PDF books are published, all of which contain different content to that of the website's online HTML pages, and the PDF books will likely not be available on archived versions of this website and exist as separate items in depositaries. I have also published a lot elsewhere and will continue to publish elsewhere; I have three other websites currently and have published on other, now-closed websites before. Apart from this website you are on, the others are: www.clwaideac-na-cuinne.co.uk , www.languages-of-linnunrata.co.uk , www.kielimatka-2-11.co.uk - all of these websites contain separate content from each other, and I have also published books elsewhere on these websites, Amazon, in only print or only kindle format etc, which are not in any form published via this website.  This is a website dedicated to the study of languages, containing sections pertaining to various languages, mainly Celtic, and including Scottish Gaelic dialects, which are a significant part of the website's content. I, Linden Alexander Pentecost am the sole creator of this content, including all the books and photos, artwork and online articles, when this is rarely not the case with photos, I state so and work within copyright law, giving all the necessarily license information under Creative Commons.

The ebooks pages contain downloadable ebooks published through/via this website, but which contain entirely separate content to what is on the website's pages/parts. The ebooks also contain a lot of archaeology, philosophy and spirituality, much in relation to language.
Site map is below (in case the menu at the top of the page does not work).

About the name: The Book of Dunbarra takes its name from the Gaelic words dùn and barr, connected with the town of Dunbar in the south-east of Scotland, a name recorded in early Welsh as Dynbaer, and translatable in Scottish Gaelic as Dùn Barr. The website is a book in the sense of a book being a place which I hope inspires kindness and hope.
