Last year, an 88 year-old retired pilot was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award for his incredible commitment to Gaelic.
He said: “When I was fostered out in South Uist during the war, my new home was a thatched house without the amenities we take for granted like running water, electricity or toilets. As I learned the language, I discovered I’d stumbled on what Dr James Delargy described as ‘one of the richest storehouses of traditional lore in western Europe’.
Now in its tenth year, the awards are bigger than ever. On February 21, 2023, at the Glasgow Marriott Hotel, those young and old, on their own or in a team, from every corner of the country, who are doing their bit will get the appreciation they deserve. For the individual, group or organisation that has contributed significantly towards the growth or development of the Gaelic language in 2022 either locally, nationally or internationally. As well as recognising those who have been promoting Gaelic for years, this award is also open to those who may have broken new ground.
Learning Award For teachers, support staff, pupils/students, local authority or education group which creates innovative ideas to support the strong delivery of Gaelic education . This award looks for nominations at any level from pre-school to further and higher education.
