This year the Royal National Mod took place in Inverness
The Argyll town of Dunoon is celebrating after landing the Royal National Mod for 2018.
Almost immediately planning will start and continue for four years to make the event a great success.
Next year the prestigious week long festival returns to Oban, then Stornoway in 2016 and Fort William in 2017 will take their turns.
Dunoon has a long association with the Mod having been the venue on seven occasions between 1930 and 2012.
Alasdair McCuish, of the Dunoon Mod committee, said: “We are delighted that the Mod is coming back in 2018. We have staged it four times in the past 20 years and I think have the hang of it now.”
And he joked that it would be great if major Mod sponsor the ferry company CalMac could arrange a new ferry for the town by 2018.
