ARGYLL and Bute Council’s first ever dedicated Gaelic Gathering took place in Oban on Saturday and marked a huge milestone in the future of the language.
More than 70 people attended, including representatives from the Scottish Government and Bord na Gaidhlig. The event provided an excellent platform for networking and developing Gaelic in local communities, in schools and among businesses in the area.
The council’s spokesman for community and culture, Robin Currie, announced that a virtual Gaelic forum will be developed to build on the momentum gathered from the day and share all the exciting Gaelic things that people are doing every day in Argyll and Bute.
