Argyll and Bute Council have agreed to roll out a Gaelic action plan across the region to promote the region’s heritage.
The Gaelic Language Plan 2018–2022 aims to increase the number of people learning to speak the language.
As well as hosting a Gaelic gathering in the region every two years, the scheme will also promote participation in the Royal National Mod, offer free council venues for provincial Mods and promote Argyll and Bute as a place for Film and TV work that involves Gaelic language and culture.
Councillor Robin Currie, Policy Lead for Gaelic, said: “This is all about ensuring a long term future for Gaelic in Argyll and Bute. It’s recognised that being able to speak more than one language has benefits for individuals. This plan sets out how we will help more people to learn Gaelic.”
