51³Ô¹ÏÃâ·ÑApp and Bute Council is looking forward to welcoming people to this year’s Gaelic Gathering which takes place in the Corran Halls, Oban, May 15.
Funded by Bòrd na ³Òà ¾±»å³ó±ô¾±²µ, the Gaelic Gathering provides an opportunity for organisations, community groups, and individuals to meet with national organisations and share ideas on how they can work in partnership to help grow the Gaelic language in our communities.
The event will cover topics from organisations across 51³Ô¹ÏÃâ·ÑApp and Bute and Scotland. They include Gaelic in business, culture and communities, areas of linguistic significance and Gaelic resources for families.
Councillor Luna Martin, Policy Lead for Gaelic said:
“We’re really looking forward to bringing everyone together for our fifth Gaelic Gathering. This popular event is open to anyone with an interest in promoting the language and culture.
Gaelic plays an important part in the history of 51³Ô¹ÏÃâ·ÑApp and Bute, and we are committed to doing what we can to ensure its long-term future. It is in all our interests to help it flourish.
The Gaelic Gathering promises to be a great event. Come along and hear what the council and our partners are doing to promote both the language and culture.â€
