Gaelic Language Plan 2026 to 2031
Our Gaelic Language Plan explains how we will support and promote Gaelic in South Lanarkshire from 2026 to 2031. You can read the plan online using the link below.
We prepared the plan under the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005. It builds on our work since 2013 and sets out practical steps to increase the visibility and use of Gaelic in our communities, services and workplace.
In the 2022 Census, 4,202 people in South Lanarkshire reported Gaelic language skills. This was 209% more than in 2011. We will support further growth through education, learning, community activity, arts and culture, public services and opportunities at work.
Our commitments
- Provide equal quality: where we offer Gaelic services and information, they will meet the same standard as English services.
- Make services clear: we will tell employees and residents about Gaelic services and encourage people to use them.
- Include Gaelic: we will consider Gaelic in our everyday work, policies, services and communications.
- Work with others: we will work with Bòrd na Gàidhlig, local partners and other organisations to deliver the plan.

Plana Gàidhlig 2026–2031
Tha ar Plana Gàidhlig a’ mìneachadh mar a bheir sinn taic don Ghàidhlig agus mar a bhrosnaicheas sinn i ann an Siorrachd Lannraig a Deas bho 2026 gu 2031. Faodaidh sibh am plana a leughadh air-loidhne tron cheangal gu h-ìosal.
Chaidh am plana ullachadh fo Achd na Gàidhlig (Alba) 2005. Tha e a’ togail air ar n-obair bho 2013 agus a’ mìneachadh cheumannan gus faicsinneachd agus cleachdadh na Gàidhlig a mheudachadh nar coimhearsnachdan, seirbheisean agus àiteachan-obrach.
Ann an Cunntas-sluaigh 2022, thuirt 4,202 neach ann an Siorrachd Lannraig a Deas gu robh sgilean Gàidhlig aca. Bha seo 209% nas àirde na ann an 2011. Bheir sinn taic do bharrachd fàis tro fhoghlam, ionnsachadh, gnìomhachd coimhearsnachd, na h-ealain agus cultar, seirbheisean poblach agus cothroman san àite-obrach.
Ar geallaidhean
- Càileachd cho-ionann: far a bheil seirbheisean is fiosrachadh Gàidhlig rim faighinn, bidh iad aig an aon ìre ris na seirbheisean Beurla.
- Seirbheisean soilleir: innsidh sinn do luchd-obrach agus luchd-còmhnaidh mu sheirbheisean Gàidhlig agus brosnaichidh sinn daoine gus an cleachdadh.
- Gàidhlig nar n-obair: beachdaichidh sinn air Gàidhlig nar n-obair làitheil, poileasaidhean, seirbheisean agus conaltradh.
- Obair còmhla: obraichidh sinn le Bòrd na Gàidhlig, com-pàirtichean ionadail agus buidhnean eile gus am plana a lìbhrigeadh.
