Bha latha ann nuair a bha An Comunn Gaidhealach leis fhein a’ cogadh air sgath na G&idhlig an aghaidh aineolas is gamhlas nan Gall. Ged a bha comunnan Gaidhlig eile ann an sud’s an seo cha b’ann airson leasachadh na Gaidhlig a bha iad ach airson a bhith gleidheadh’s a bhith cur an cld eachdraidh is edlas nan Gaidheal is seanachas is beul-aithris na diithcha. Sin mar a bha a’ chixis fad iomadach bliadhna gus mu dheireadh thainig am B.B.C. agus guth Gaidhlig aige. Ach’s ann as deidh a’ chogaidh mu dheireadh a bha an t-atharrachadh bu mhotha air fad agus taing dha sin tha againn an diugh seach An Comunn agus am B.B.C., Sgoil Edlais na h-Alba, Gairm agus clo-bhualadh leabhraichean aige, Gaelfonn, Comunn Leabhraichean Gaidhlig, Club Leabhar, Comunn na Canain Albannach, buidtmean ciuil agus buidhnean drama. Tha mar an ceudna Sabhal Mor Ostaig agus C.O.G.A., da rud gu math cudthromach, gealltanach a reir coltais. Tha teagasg nas fhearr anns na sgoiltean, gu h-araidh anns an h-Eileanan an far, agus tha clasaichean airson luchd- ionnsachaidh a’ sior fhas nas pailte. Ach, ma tha gluasad air Tlr Mor tha mosgladh da-rireadh anns na h-Eileanan a reir coltais, oir’s gann gun robh iad fo uidheam cheart nuair a thug iad seachad tri mile not do’n Chomunn mar thiodhlac, tiodhlac gu buileach fial, suairce, tabhartas gun diiil ris a thug misneachd dhuinn. Ach a bharrachd air seo tha sgeim mdr aca airson na Gaidhlig, rud gu math gealltanach is coltach agus ma thig e gu ire bidh cothrom ann do’n Ghaidhlig nach robh ann o linn an t-Seathamh Righ Sheumais. Ach their corra fhear nis gun do chaill an Comunn &ite’s na h-Eileanan co dhiubh agus nach bi feum ann air a shon tuilleadh. O nan robh na daoine sin ceart agus gu robh a’ Ghaidhlig fallain a rithist, ach cha tainig an latha sin fhathast. Ach eadhan nan robh a’ Ghaidhlig gu buileach slan’s na h-Eileanan bhitheadh gu ledr ri dheanamh aig a’ Chomunn fhathast air Tlr Mdr na Gaidheal- tachd, air a’ Bhreac-Ghaidhealtechd anns na f&saichean far am b’abhaist a’ Ghaidhlig a bhith ach far nach cluinnear smid an diugh agus air a’ Ghalldach mar an ceudna. ’S e ar dleasdanas nis a bhith ’nar cul-taic do luchd-leasachaidh na Gaidhlig ann an Roinn nan Eilean agus a bhith brosnachadh is a’ brodadh comhairlichean nan Roinnean eile, gus an dean iad torr a bharrachd air sgath na Gaidhlig na rinn muinntir nan seann siorramachdan. Feumaidh sinn a bhith breithneachadh gu trie air na tha sinn feuchainn ri dheanamh agus a bhith ’gar sgriidadh fhein agus ar gniomhnan los gum faigh sinn cuidhteas rud sam bith a tha nis gun fheum agus airson’s gum bi an Comunn an ire mhath eifeachdach air sgath na G&dhlig. Is aithne dhuinn gu math, taing gle thric do’n luchd-tarcuis, coireannan is tubaisdean a’ Chomuinn, ach tubais- dean ann no as chan eil Comunn eile ann fhathast a ghabhadh aite a’ Chomuinn Ghaidhealaich agus faodaidh sinn a bhith moiteal as cho fad *s is cuimhne leinn gur e inneal a tha ann airson leasachadh na Gaidhlig agus mar an ceudna gur e Gaidheil nan gleann agus nan eilean a chum a’ Ghaidhlig bed agus gur iadsan tha ’ga gleidheadh fhathast. Ach, chan fhuilear do’n Ghaidhlig fada a bharrachd de chobhair ma tha i gu bhith buan, sl&n: cobhair nach urrainn do’n Chomunn a thoirt seachad dhi is dbcha. Bu chdir do’n Rloghachd tdrr a bharrachd a dheanamh air a son na tha i a’ deanamh, a chionn’s gur i an sloightear as motha a mhill a’ Ghaidhlig anns na linntean a chaidh seachadh, agus gur i as coireach ann an ddigh gu bheil i cho lapach. A seo a mach, cha b’fhuilear dhuinn uile, cairdean na Gaidhlig, a bhith cruinn cdmhla air an aon ramh.

6 President's remarks

Thanks to oil, Scotland may yet be economically strong. It would be tragic, although ironic, if by then its people were to be no longer distinguishably Scottish. This could easily happen for as it is, a dull uniform “Britishness” passes more and more for being Scottish. The survival and emancipation of Gaelic would be a real antidote to such a loss of character but new pressures along with the old ones threaten the language and cause concern. Yet Gaelic could be saved for posterity were the State to give the people of Scotland the lead that is needed. It is true that of late it has shown some goodwill but it has yet to declare its belief in Gaelic’s value and place in Scotland. It must also stop finding excuses and scapegoats and putting the onus of Gaelic’s survival on the parents and doling out aid for it in proportion to their attitudes and demands. This is cynical impudence for it ignores the sociological reasons for the decline caused mainly by the policy of the State during three centuries designed to destroy Gaelic and assimulate the Gael. Given that lead and sufficient material aid, the Regional Authorities and the other agencies, including An Comunn, would be greatly strengthened and encouraged in their struggle against ignor- ance and apathy: Time is short; action is needed now.

Failte air a* cho-chruinneachadh mhor seo de Ghaidheil agus orra-san a tha titheach air cedi a tha Iain Player agus a Mhic cho mor as a bhith cuideachadh. Tha e ’na shochair dhuinn a bhith ’nar meadhon air co-fharpais a chur air adhart do dh’inbhich, ni a thug comharra na Gaidhealtachd a tha aithnichte air feadh an t-saoghail, A’ Phiob Mhor, a steach do’n fheis naiseanta chiuil seo. Bha sinn toilichte a bhith faicinn Co-fharpais Piobaireachd Bratach Oir Iain Player agus a Mhic a’ fas gu inbhe a bhith air aireamh aon de na nithean as motha am measg phiobairean feadh na bliadhna. A thuilleadh air meudachadh ar taic do mhaoin a’ Mhoid ’sa chumantas bha e ’nar comas cur ri airgead dhuais cho-fharpaisean choisirean inbheach le run da-fhillte—brosnachadh choisirean seasamh na mor chosgais a bhith feuchainn aig a’ Mhod Naiseanta, agus a thoirt dhuibh tuilleadh sheinnea- dairean grinn bho na cearnan as iomallaiche de’n Ghaidhealtachd. G. C. Kent Fear Cathrach agus Priomh Fhear Stiuiridh Iain Player agus a Mhic Welcome to this great gathering of Gaels and other music-lovers which John Player and Sons are proud to support. We are privileged to be the means of introducing, at senior level, a competition which brought the internationally-recognised symbol of Gaeldom, the Great Highland Bagpipe, into this national festival of music. We have been gratified to watch the John Player Gold Banner Piping Competition grow in stature to become one of the great events of the pipers’ year. In addition to our general support of Mod funds we have been able to increase the prize money for the senior choral competitions with the twin objects of encouraging choirs to face the heavy expendi- ture of participating in the National Mod, and of giving you more fine singers from the farthest bounds of Gaeldom.
