Dingwall
New Mòd for Dingwall confirmed!
A brand new Local Mòd was launched recently, which will be added to the Local Mods calendar for 2024. Set to take place on Saturday 7 September 2024, the Dingwall Local Mòd will feature a partnership between An Comunn and Fèis Rois, offering non-competitive musical activities alongside traditional competitions. This latest collaboration underlines the commitment of Gaelic organisations to work together in promoting Scotland’s rich heritage and culture in ways which are both fun and accessible for all.
Steven MacIver, Chair of the Dingwall Local Branch of An Comunn Gàidhealach said: “The local committee and I are delighted to be working to re-establish the Dingwall Local Mòd which hasn’t taken place in about 20 years. Our main focus is to offer another platform for children, both in Gaelic-medium education and Gaelic learner education, to use the Gaelic language and develop their fluency outwith the classroom. The Mòd provides a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the rich history and culture through friendly competition and we want to provide everyone, but in particular the next generation of Gaelic speakers, this precious opportunity. It is exciting to see such support from the local community in re-establishing the local Mòd and we very much look forward to working in partnership with others to create a successful event that will continue to drive the development of the Gaelic language.”
The An Comunn Gàidhealach team are delighted to have an addition to the Local Mòd family and we wish the Committee all the very best for the preparations for this year’s Mòd!
