The Gaelic Whiskies Company, Praban na Linne, is delighted to sponsor the Maiy Lament Traditional Gold Medals. We know a thing or two about gold medals, because our Te Bheag Unchilfiltered Connoisseurs’ Blend was awarded one at this year’s International Spirits Challenge. We certainly also believe in tradition - our unchilfiltered Te Bheag and Poit Dhubh are “real whisky as it used to be;’ made in the time-honoured, traditional way. You could say this is ‘true whisky of the Gaels’ - or to put it more traditionally, “Fior Uisge Beatha nan Gaidheal.”

Urras Brosnachaidh Na Gaidhlig The Gaelic Language Promotion Trust Chaidh an t-Urras a steidheachadh ann an 1975, a bhrosnachadh na Gaidhlig - gu seachd araidh tro fhoghlam agus do luchd-ionnsachaidh. Thatar a’ deanamh sin ann an iomadach raon de shaoghal na Gaidhlig, bho chroileagain gu foillseachadh, iomairtean gu rannsachadh. Si a’bhana-sheinneadair Mairi Sandeman Cathraiche an Urrais. Graelic developments have employed 1,000 people, contributing £41 million to the Scottish economy in recent years. Looking to help continue the Gaelic renaissance? Over the last twenty-one years, the Trustees have: * Funded a survey into bi-lingual education leading to the establishment of the first Gaelic medium teaching unit at Sir John Maxwell Primary School in Glasgow. * Contributed towards the cost of providing vital teaching materials, particularly children’s books published by Acair and others. * Supported the developing Gaelic pre-school movement throughout Scotland. * Financed major developments at Sabhal Mor Ostaig, the Gaelic College on Skye. * Helped pay for their campaign to secure a measure of status for Gaelic. Parents’ participation in the children’s education is vital. GLPT is assisting the national parents’ group Comunn nam Parant appoint a development officer. To help us maintain the pace of Gaelic development, you can assist with the valuable work being undertaken by the Trust by making a financial contribution. Mas urrainn dhuibh an t-Urras a chuideachadh, neo ma tha fiosrachadh sam bith a dhith oirbh, sgriobhaibh gu: Urras Brosnachaidh na Gaidhlig/Gaelic Language Promotion Trust, 2 Old Mill, Charleston, North Kessock, Inverness.
