THE Gaelic newspaper An Gaidheal Ur – which has been published for the past 10 years - has folded.
Its Editor, Murray Macleod has blamed the demise of the paper on the lack of funding it was receiving from Bord na Gaidhlig.
An Comunn Gaidhealach at one time supported the paper financially, but in recent years the Bord was its main funder.
Macleod said that three years ago the paper received £80,000 from Bord na Gaidhlig – a £50,000 block grant and £10,000 each from Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, Highland, and Argyll. The three authorities subsequently withdrew their funding. '
