A’ comharrachadh Dualchas Cultarail a’ Mhonaidh Ruaidh
Tro Mhaoin nan Coimhearsnachdan agus Dualchas Cultarach, tha Urras a’ Mhonaidh Ruaidh air tabhartasan de eadar £2,500 agus £10,000 a thoirt seachad do 10 pròiseactan air feadh na Pàirce Nàiseanta a tha a’ comharrachadh dualchas, ciùird, ealain agus ceòl ionadail.
Am measg nam pròiseactan a fhuair maoineachadh, tha:
- Didseatachadh stuthan tasglainn airson Comann Eachdraidh Ionadail Bhràigh Mhàrr
- Pròiseact gus buill ùra fhastadh do na Duff Highlanders agus gus èididhean a thoirt seachad
- Pròiseact a’ toirt taic do sgoilearan à Àrd-sgoil Chinn a’ Ghiuthsaich gus bàtaichean traidiseanta a dhealbhadh, a thogail agus a chur air bhog, nam measg canù, caidheag agus currach Spè.
- Taisbeanadh mu obair-aodaich ann an Srath Spè, a’ gabhail a-steach dualchas breabadaireachd na sgìre.
Thèid tabhartas a bharrachd de £5,000 ainmeachadh nas fhaide air adhart.
Chaidh Maoin nan Coimhearsnachdan agus Dualchas Cultarach a chur air bhog as t-foghar an uiridh, mar chom-pàirteachas eadar Urras a’ Mhonaidh Ruaidh agus Ùghdarras na Pàirce, a chur air bhog an-uiridh, le £50,000 ri thoirt seachad. Mar thoradh air iarrtas mhòr bho choimhearsnachdan air feadh na Pàirce Nàiseanta, thug Ùghdarras na Pàirce £15,000 a bharrachd seachad às dèidh sin, a’ fàgail gun robh £65,000 ri fhaighinn uile gu lèir.
Uile gu lèir, bha 28 iarrtasan ann dhan sgeama a dh’iarr £170,000 eatorra.
Choinnich bòrd Urras a’ Mhonaidh Ruaidh bho chionn ghoirid gus beachdachadh air na tagraidhean. Thuirt cathraiche Urras a’ Mhonaidh Ruaidh, Karen Derrick, gun robh am bòrd toilichte leis na molaidhean a chaidh a chur air adhart: "Tha leasachadh fo stiùir a' choimhearsnachd air leth cudromach do dh’Urras a' Mhonaidh Ruaidh agus tha e mìorbhaileach fhaicinn gu bheil na coimhearsnachdan air raon cho eadar-mheasgte de mholaidhean a chur air adhart.". Bheir na pròiseactan seo cothrom do luchd-còmhnaidh a’ Mhonaidh Ruaidh chan ann a-mhàin a bhith a’ gleidheadh a’ chultair aca agus a bhith ga chomharrachadh ach cuideachd gus fios mu dheidhinn air a sgaoileadh do luchd-amais nas fharsainge.
“Tha sinn a’ coimhead air adhart ri bhith a’ faicinn nam pròiseactan seo a’ tighinn gu buil thar na bliadhna a tha romhainn.”
Thuirt Eilidh Todd, Manaidsear Choimhearsnachdan is Leasachadh Dùthchail aig Ùghdarras Pàirc Nàiseanta a’ Mhonaidh Ruaidh: “Tha e brosnachail gu bheil farsaingeachd cho mìorbhaileach de phròiseactan air tighinn air adhart bho choimhearsnachdan. Eadar a bhith a’ gleidheadh agus a’ didseatachadh stuth tasglainn luachmhor agus a bhith a’ toirt taic do dhaoine òga gus sgilean togail bhàtaichean traidiseanta ionnsachadh, tha na h-iomairtean seo a’ sealltainn cho mòr ’s a tha doimhneachd na cruthachalachd agus an dealais gus dualchas cultarail beartach Pàirc Nàiseanta a’ Mhonaidh Ruaidh a chomharrachadh, a ghleidheadh agus a cho-roinn. Bha sinn gu sònraichte toilichte a bhith comasach air suim a bharrachd de dh’airgead a thoirt seachad leis gun robh càileachd agus iomadachd nan tagraidhean cho àrd.”
Thathar an dùil gum bi na pròiseactan uile deiseil ron Ghearran 2027.
Thuirt Fiona Hunter, cathraiche Comann Eachdraidh Ionadail Bhràigh Mhàrr: “’S e buidheann gu math gnìomhach de shaor-thoilich a th’ annainn agus bha sinn den bheachd gum biodh e na bhuannachd dhan làraich-lìn againn beagan ùine a bharrachd a chaitheamh a’ luchdachadh a-nuas cuid den àireamh mhòr de dhealbhan eachdraidheil a tha sinn air an didseatachadh mar-thà.” Tha an làrach-lìn againn air a bhith air-loidhne nas lugha na bliadhna ach tha sinn airson cothrom a thoirt dhan uiread ’s a ghabhas de dhaoine gus sùil a thoirt air an fharsaingeachd de stuth a tha againn. Bidh am maoineachadh seo air leth feumail dhuinn.”
Thuirt Hannah Mitchell, aig IRL Education: “Tha sinn air leth toilichte an taic seo fhaighinn. Bheir am maoineachadh seo cothrom do bhuidhnean de dhaoine òga aig Àrd-sgoil Chinn a’ Ghiuthsaich obrachadh còmhla ri Seada nam Fear ann am Bàideanach gus bàtaichean traidiseanta a thogail, ceangal a dhèanamh ri dualchas Abhainn Spè, a bhith a’ cur ri misneachd agus sgilean practaigeach agus tòrr spòrs fhaighinn agus iad a’ neartachadh an ceangail ris an àrainneachd ionadail aca.

Update - 21:55
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service have shared that emergency services continue to tackle a large-scale wildfire covering more than two kilometres in width near to Glenmore.
A number of homes and businesses, including campsites and ski resorts within the Glenmore Forest Park area, have been closed and evacuated as a safety precaution due to the close proximity to the incident.
As of 9pm on Wednesday night (15 July), Scottish Fire and Rescue Service currently has six fire appliances, a wildfire unit, specialist resources and tactical commanders mobilised to the scene after the alarm was raised just before 12 noon earlier today.
Firefighters are working with landowners to contain the incident and create fire breaks, with high winds causing the fire to spread across areas of trees and woodland. There are no reported casualties.
Road closures continue to be in place to support the emergency response, and people are asked to avoid the area within Glenmore Forest Park and Loch Morlich on Thursday, 16 July as this incident continues.
We will share updates as the situation develops. In the meantime, our thanks go out to the emergency services, gamekeepers, NGO and estate staff and many others from across the community who are working non-stop to get these fires under control, and providing support to those affected.
