As a global University firmly rooted in our unique civic history, we recognise the responsibilities we have towards Gaelic, one of the native living languages of Scotland.

For the past five years, we have followed a plan of commitments set out in our current Gaelic Plan (2019-2024) which saw an increase in our learning opportunities, the establishment of a Gaelic Writer in Residence scheme, and the strengthening of our ties with local organisations and Gaelic networks amongst other ambitious and progressive initiatives.

Our latest Gaelic Plan comes to an end in 2024, and while we have seen progress towards the aims of that plan, it is important that we look again at our strategic direction for Gaelic. To that end, we have published a draft Gaelic Plan which sets out our key principles and commitments for Gaelic for the period 2025-2030.
