Gaelic Language Plan
Gaelic Language Plan
Forestry and Land Scotland recognises that Gaelic is an important part of Scotland's heritage, national identity and cultural life. We are committed to ensuring that Gaelic has a sustainable future in Scotland.
We have been working with Bòrd na Gàidhlig to develop a new Gaelic Language Plan. In line with other public bodies, our plan sets out how we will demonstrate three key principles in relation to Gaelic Language:
- The first is Equal Respect, securing the status of the Gaelic language as an official language of Scotland, commanding equal respect to the English language.
- The second is Active Offer, making an active offer of our Gaelic services to our employees and the public.
- The third is Mainstreaming, ensuring that opportunities for the public and our staff to use Gaelic are normalised.
This will support the National Gaelic Language Plan 2018-23 aim that Gaelic is used more often, by more people and in a wider range of situations.
