The Council is interested in seeking comments on its draft Gaelic Language Plan (required as a result of Section 3 of the Gaelic Language Act (Scotland) 2005).

Gaelic is seen as one of many cultures and languages prevalent in the city that the Council would like to support and develop. The Council, as part of the plan, has prepared a "case for Gaelic" which is described in the introduction of the plan.
