Gaelic Language Plan

Our Gaelic Language Plan accords with the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005, the National Gaelic Language Plan, and the Guidance on the Development of Gaelic Language Plans produced by Bòrd na Gàidhlig.

The plan sets out how we use Gaelic in our operations, how we enable the use of Gaelic when communicating with the public and key partners, and how we will promote and develop Gaelic.
