Gaelic Language Plan - progress report - Feb 2025 to Feb 2026

This document contains an implementation report detailing the Cairngorms National Park Authority's progress on its third Gaelic Language Plan between February 2025 and February 2026. This first year has seen significant activity, including the creation of a new Gaelic Breakfast Club, integration of Gaelic into school programmes, successful social media content, and funding for Gaelic cultural heritage projects. The Park Authority has worked to ensure Gaelic is considered in its funding, educational resources, major events, and new digital platforms like its upcoming Gaelic website. While there have been challenges in embedding Gaelic consistently across all devolved initiatives and within some past consultations, the report highlights ongoing efforts to promote the language through staff training, bilingual communications, and incorporating Gaelic into signage, interpretation, and recruitment, demonstrating a commitment to enhancing Gaelic's presence within the National Park.
