ResumoIn this brief essay, to conclude the special issue, I take a reflexive and ontological (re)turn to the Gàidhealtachd. After completing our main task of bringing this collection together, an emplaced and ontological turn has been in some measure evident across the articles, emphasising relationships with place/s. In writing up our guest editors' introduction, a related emergent theme, or atmosphere, of place and ontological relations within the Gàidhealtachd became important. In continuing with that (perhaps minor) ‘turn’, in this essay I engage with my lived experiences of cultural change and exchange, including with my research, emplaced within and beyond the Gàidhealtachd. This (ex)change has profoundly influenced my creative practice, social practice and research relationships with the Gàidhealtachd – reemphasising an ontological (re)turn to place, and its ethical relations and futures.
