THE ROYAL National Mòd (Am Mòd Nàiseanta Rìoghail) will return to Lochaber next month for what is set to be a record-breaking year for the festival.
Participant numbers at the Mòd this year are expected to exceed 3,600 - the highest in a decade.
The nine-day spectacular of Gaelic music, arts and sport will take place in Fort William for the first time in 10 years and will this year welcome representatives from towns and cities the Mòd hasn’t seen in generations. Thousands of competitors from Scotland and across the world, including a delegation of American competitors, will take part in 200 competitions.
