Highlands site proposed for £17m Gaelic centre

[Gràisg]

Artagail san Albannach agus deasbad na chois.

'A VISION of a £17 million national centre for Gaelic culture to be built in the Highlands over the next 20 years is being backed by councillors.

Pairc na Gàidhealtachd will be developed on a site in Newtonmore currently used by the Highland Folk Museum, and be staffed by Gaelic speakers.

The facility will include a visitor centre, exhibition, café, shop, learning spaces, offices, plus an archaeological park and possibly an "eco park".'

Agus beachdan làidir:

'Where on earth is Highland Council getting all this money for a museum project when all the people involved in Gaelic on the ground are being squeezed out because of lack of money or so the story goes.

An example of this seems to be the Gaelic newspaper which is about to go out of business this month for the meagre sum of £40,000.

What will be the long-term benefits of this to learners or Gaelic speaking parents who wish to raise their children as Gaelic speakers or is this just more hype?

Does anyone know? Do they have money to burn?'

"Highland Folk Museum" - dè seo? An e àite a th' ann airson seann rudan tradiseanta fhoillseachadh, rudan nach dèan sinn an-diugh?

Agus sin Comhairle na Gaidhealtachd ag iarraidh cuir Gàidhlig a-steach?

Chan eil mi cinnteach gum biodh sin na dheagh bheachd...

Uell, chan eil mi dol a chàineadh sa bhad. Leis an ainealas a tha beò am measg nan daoine a thaobh na Gàidhlig, tha rud sam bith math a sgaoileas fiosrachadh mu dhèidhinn. Agus ma bhios an luchd-obrach fileanta uile gu lèir, 's e deagh cheum a bhios ann, ge be dè na tha iad a' toirt seachad, seòclaid no fiosrachadh air crodh Gàidhealach. Chan eil torr àitichean againn far an urrainn dhut G a chleachdadh fad an latha le do cho-obraichean.

The devil is in the detail... bu toil leam barrachd fios fhaighinn an toiseach.
