Gaelic Language Plan 2019-2023-English East Ayrshire Council DRAFT GAELIC LANGUAGE PLAN 2019-2023 Prepared under Section 3 of the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005. 1 FOREWORD East Ayrshire Council recognises the value of the Gaelic language to our national culture and heritage and we are committed to working with our Community Planning Partners, Bòrd na Gàidhlig and others, to safeguard the Gaelic language, heritage and culture for future generations and wherever possible, to develop use of the language. This is our second Gaelic Language Plan and the actions contained herein build upon the good progress made during the lifetime of our first Plan, which ran from 2014 – 2018 and saw a strong focus on actions for our young people and members of the community. We have worked closely with individuals and community organisations to deliver on our Plan and to ensure that their interests and views are represented in our new Gaelic Language Plan. Gaelic learning has increased in East Ayrshire over the last five years and all Gaelic Medium Education, for pupils aged 3 to 18 years, is provided at our Gaelic School, Sgoil na Coille Nuaidh, part of the new William McIlvanney Campus. With bilingual signage throughout the Campus, there are numerous opportunities for pupils to become more familiar with the Gaelic language. Community based learning and opportunities have also increased, providing various levels of learning and the Council has continued to extend the visibility of Gaelic through bilingual street and boundary signs and an update to the Council logo. The Gaelic Language Plan 2019 – 2023 details how the Council will continue to support the objectives of the National Plan for Gaelic over the next five years and sets out how we will meet our obligations to ensure our communities, stakeholders and partners recognise our ongoing progress to promote and use Gaelic. We are confident that our Plan will contribute to raising the profile and visibility of Gaelic, both nationally and locally, by sharing resources, good practice and working with voluntary organisation contacts and networks. 2 Table of Contents CHAPTER 1 Structure of the Gaelic Language Plan 3 Description of East Ayrshire’s function and location of offices 5 The Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005 and the issuing of Notice 7 Approval of East Ayrshire’s Gaelic Language Plan 8 Consultation on our draft Gaelic Language Plan 8 Summary of Gaelic in Scotland 9 CHAPTER 2 Gaelic Language Legacy 10 Map of Settlements in East Ayrshire Council 11 Gaelic in East Ayrshire (2011 Census) 12 Community Based Learning 12 Internal Audit Capacity 13 The Gaelic Language Plan in the Corporate Structure 15 Individual Staff Members 17 Arms Length Organisations 17 Planning and Policy Implications for Gaelic 18 Overview of the National Gaelic Language Plan Commitment to the Objectives of the National Strategic Objectives 18 Commitment to the Objectives of the National Gaelic Language Plan 20 Home and Early Years Education 21 Community 23 The Workplace 25 Media, Arts, Heritage and Tourism 26 Corpus 28 CHAPTER 3 Core Commitments 30 Service Standard Commitments 30 Visibility 31 Staffing 32 Day to Day Operations 33 Communications 35 Corpus 36 CHAPTER 4 Implementation and Monitoring 37 Publishing the Plan 37 Publicising the Plan 37 Informing Other Organisations 37 Internal 37 Resourcing 38 Grant Scheme 38 Appendix 1: East Ayrshire Council Gaelic Language Employee Survey 39 Appendix 2: TBC / Outcome of Consultation Appendix 3: 1Link to the 2013 – 2017 Copy of the East Ayrshire Council Gaelic Language Plan 1 The 2013 – 2017 Plan was given an extension and became the 2014 to 2018 Plan as detailed throughout this new iteration (draft) Plan for 2019 -2023 3 STRUCTURE OF THE GAELIC LANGUAGE PLAN The key components of the East Ayrshire Gaelic Language Plan are: Chapter 1 – Introduction Provides the background and context relating to the preparation of Gaelic Language Plans under the 2005 Act and the structure of East Ayrshire Council’s main areas of operation.

Chapter 2 – Policy Implications for Gaelic: Implementing The National Gaelic Language Plan 2019 - 2023 Sets out how East Ayrshire will support the implementation of The National Gaelic Language Plan 2019 - 2023. It also shows how we intend to promote the use of Gaelic in service Planning and delivery. This chapter also reveals how we will take account of Gaelic and our Gaelic Language Plan when drafting new policies and defining new strategies. Chapter 3 – Core Commitments 2019 – 2023 Sets out in the form of an action Plan the Gaelic language provision to which we are committed to providing in the lifetime of the Plan. Chapter 4 – Implementation and Monitoring Sets out how the implementation of our Gaelic Language Plan will be taken forward, and how implementation and outcomes will be monitored. We aim to ensure where possible: All Gaelic services and resources will demonstrate equal respect for Gaelic and English. There will be an active offer and promotion of all Gaelic services and facilities. We shall monitor the uptake and promotion of Gaelic facilities and services and where need be we shall increase promotion. 4 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION East Ayrshire is situated in south west Scotland and covers an area of 490 square miles, from Lugton in the north to Loch Doon in the south. It has a population of 121,940, who live in a mixture of urban and rural communities. Kilmarnock is the major urban area with a population of 46,770. The remainder of the population lives in smaller communities, ranging from less than a hundred people in small villages and rural areas to 8,830 people in Cumnock. Many parts of East Ayrshire are prosperous and it is a vibrant area in which to live, work and visit; although there are also areas of substantial socio-economic disadvantage. Rural communities may be remote from services, job opportunities and activities that people in more central or urban areas take for granted. East Ayrshire has a high quality environment with good quality services, including health, education, social and leisure services and a strong community spirit. It has a rich and varied landscape and much to offer in terms of natural heritage and scientific interest, and the built environment has a distinctive local character. East Ayrshire also has a varied rural hinterland where agricultural and former mining communities exist side by side. In terms of demographics, population projections indicate that the population of East Ayrshire is expected to remain relatively stable between now and 2033, although demographic shift will realign the distribution of the population by decreasing the child (-4%) and working age population (-11%) and increasing the pensionable age population by 32%. The majority of residents are white Scottish, 93%, with a further 4.5% other white British (Source: Scotland’s Census 2011). The de-industrialisation of the local economy has had a significant impact East Ayrshire, and for many economy-related indicators, East Ayrshire performance is lower that the Scottish average. However claimant count unemployment (16-64) in East Ayrshire has fallen since 2014 - although figures remain higher than the Scottish average, the gap has been closing. Formation and Operation of East Ayrshire Council Kilmarnock and Loudoun (Cille Mheàrnaig agus Lughdan) and Cumnock and Doon Valley (Cumnag agus Srath Dhùin) were two of 19 local government district councils in the Strathclyde Regional Council area from 1975 to 1996. Both district councils and Strathclyde Regional Council were abolished in 1996 by the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994 and were combined to form East Ayrshire Council which came into being on 1 April 1996. East Ayrshire Council has around 6,300 employees delivering a range of different services to our residents. Council headquarters is based at London Road, Kilmarnock. It is a high performing organisation and this is consistently evidenced through internal Best Value and self-assessment processes and through external validation from 5 organisations such as Audit Scotland. The Council has a 2018/19 revenue budget of £336.1 million. The Community Plan continues to be recognised as the sovereign Planning document for the East Ayrshire area, providing the overarching strategic policy framework for the delivery of services by the Council and its Partner agencies. In addition, the Plan acts as the Council’s Corporate Plan. Our vision is set out below: ‘East Ayrshire will be a place with strong, vibrant communities where everyone has a good quality of life and access to opportunities, choices and high quality services which are sustainable, accessible and meet people’s needs.’ The Council is split into nine multi-member wards with either 3 or 4 Councillors representing each ward. There is a total of 32 Councillors. The elections in 2017 resulted in a minority administration which is led by the Scottish National Party. The composition of the Council is as follows: Scottish National Party 14 Scottish Labour Party 9 Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party 6 Independent 2 The Rubbish Party 1 The decision making structure for the Council is based on a Cabinet model with a Governance and Scrutiny Committee. The Cabinet, chaired by the Leader of the Council, is responsible for all executive decisions made by the authority. A Governance and Scrutiny committee acts as a counter balance to the Cabinet and provides an open and systematic scrutiny of decisions and regular challenges of performance. A number of other committees also operate, including Planning and grant committees and an appeal panel. East Ayrshire Council’s Chief Executive is supported by two Depute Chief Executives, with strategic lead responsibility for Economy and Skills and Safer Communities respectively. Together with the Director of the Health and Social Care Partnership (Strategic lead for Wellbeing), they form the Council's Executive Management Team, which also includes the Chief Governance Officer, Chief Social Work Officer and Policy Planning and Performance Manager.

A study of the historiographical debate on the significance of the Battle of Culloden in 1746 for Scotland, Britain and the world III Ó Sunniva Christina Ruthven Hatlestad-Hall 2019 The battle that made Britain? A study of the historiographical debate on the significance of the Battle of Culloden in 1746 for Scotland, Britain and the world Sunniva Christina Ruthven Hatlestad-Hall http://www.duo.uio.no Print: Webergs Printshop, Oslo Illustration: Traditional depiction of the Battle of Culloden in 1746 called An Incident in the Rebellion of 1745 by David Morier (source: Wikimedia Commons) IV Abstract On the morning of 16th April 1746, the Jacobites fought a British army supported by the Government on Culloden Moor in northern Scotland. The battle was short, but brutal. Still, many historians claim that the battle was of major importance for consecutive Scottish, British and international politics, as well as the subsequent social and cultural development in Scotland. This thesis attempts to answer to what extent historians perceive the Battle of Culloden as significant, by exploring the political, social and cultural implications of the battle. It also tries to establish whether or not Culloden was ‘the battle that made Britain’. This is done by identifying three distinct scholarly views in the historiographical debate, categorising relevant historians within these traditions, and accordingly, using this as a basis for the discussion on the various claimed consequences of Jacobitism and Culloden.

Since sophomore year and through my thesis, Professor Gerstein has given me some of the most cutting and helpful criticism on my writing, and my current writing standard is indebted to her. She understands exactly what I mean to say, and holds me accountable to expressing that properly. She does not let me get away with logical reaches or imprecise terminology, and has fostered my interests in nationalism and architectural/art history. Professor Krippner, my major advisor, has had a massive influence on me as a historian over the course of college. Through my four courses and thesis work with him, he has taught me how to read history through images, how to perceive gaps in histories that exist, and how to understand culture and society from the smallest of samples. I must thank my family, in particular my parents, stepfather, and sister, for getting me through college. To my parents for their inspiration and support to better myself through education, and to my sister for the unwavering confidence she has had in me, thank you.
