The Council delivers a range of public services across the fifth largest geographical area in Scotland, to one of the fastest growing populations in Scotland. Perth and Kinross is located in the heart of Scotland covering approximately 5,286 km₂ and is a large and varied area with an estimated population of 150,680. Perth & Kinross Council has always been actively involved in supporting Gaelic language and culture, and recognises Gaelic as an integral part of our heritage, national and local identity and cultural life. Perthshire Gaelic had its own distinct dialect and traditions and until the late 19 th century nearly 13% of the population spoke Gaelic. Perth & Kinross Council is committed to supporting delivery of the objectives of the National Gaelic Language and recognises that if Gaelic is to flourish and grow as a living language in Scotland all partners across the public, private and community sectors need to play their part in order to:- • enhance the status of Gaelic • promote the acquisition and learning of the language • encourage the increased use of Gaelic This is the Council’s second Gaelic Language Plan, prepared within the framework of the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005, having regard also to the National Gaelic Language Plan and Bòrd na Gàidhlig’s Guidance on the Development of Gaelic Language Plans. It sets out how we will: - use Gaelic in how we deliver public services - enable the use of Gaelic when communicating with the public and our partners - promote and develop Gaelic language and culture Developing a Gaelic Language Plan The Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005 was passed by the Scottish Parliament with a view to securing the status of the Gaelic language as an official language of Scotland, commanding equal respect to the English language. The purpose of the Act is to promote the use of Gaelic in Scottish public life, and to encourage the increased use of Gaelic in the home, community, place of learning and workplace. One of the key features of the 2005 Act is the provision enabling Bòrd na Gàidhlig as the national Gaelic language agency to require public bodies to prepare Gaelic Language Plans; to assess them for quality and to monitor delivery progress. This provision was designed to ensure that the public sector in Scotland plays its full part in creating a sustainable future for Gaelic by raising its status and profile and creating practical opportunities for its use. In line with our statutory duties in respect of Gaelic, we have completed a full public consultation on this Plan and incorporated feedback and views generated from the consultation process. Page | 4 Perth & Kinross Council Draft Gaelic Language Plan 2018 - 2022 How this Plan is structured This Plan is divided into three sections: Part 1: Introduction This section provides background to the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005 and how we have developed this Plan. It describes the structure and responsibilities of our organisation and the historic and current position of the Gaelic language in the area. Part 2: 4 Steps for Gaelic This section sets out Perth & Kinross Council’s strategic commitments, key performance results and enabling actions in accordance with the priority areas of the National Plan for Gaelic. Part 3: Implementation and Monitoring This section sets out how our Gaelic Language Plan will be delivered, and how we will monitor progress. Page | 5 Perth & Kinross Council Draft Gaelic Language Plan 2018 - 2022 Our Story: Gaelic in Perth and Kinross Our Past From Highland Perthshire (host of the second largest provincial Mod held on mainland Scotland) to Eastern Perthshire (birthplace of Hamish Henderson), across to Strathearn and down to Kinross-shire, the history and continuing traditions of Perthshire Gaelic are fundamental to Scottish Gaelic: past, present and future. In 1881 the national Census began to record Gaelic speakers and found 60% of people living in our area spoke Gaelic. In some localities the figure was higher, for example in Aberfeldy it was 75% and in Blair Atholl it was 80% At the beginning of the 20th century, 13% of the people of Perth and Kinross spoke Gaelic, with a sizeable number of speakers having migrated into the city of Perth itself. Following the First and Second World Wars the language had retreated to a few areas around Aberfeldy. Before the last of the native speakers of Perthshire Gaelic passed away, collections and recordings were gathered for posterity. The memory of Perthshire Gaelic remains alive in those who met or lived among the last remaining speakers of the local language. It is also alive in the place-names that surround us throughout the area, found in the hills, villages and towns. Our Present Today we have below the national average of speakers and addressing this is a key objective. The 2011 Census identified that 2169 people aged three and over in Perth and Kinross (1.5%) had some Gaelic language skills compared with 87,100 (1.7%) of the population of Scotland overall. See Appendix A for Statistical Information on Gaelic Speakers in Perth and Kinross. Work by Perth & Kinross Council and its partners has brought about a revival of the language in the last 10 years. Gaelic education and adult learning initiatives have established a new generation of Gaelic speakers in the area. Population migration has also meant that Gaelic speakers from other parts of Scotland have descended into this area and can be found throughout Perth and Kinross. Early Learning and Education Gaelic Playgroups in Perth and Aberfeldy provide an introduction to Gaelic for 0-5 year olds and their parents. Gaelic Medium Education has been available in Perth since 1993 and a new GME provision was established in Breadalbane Academy, Aberfeldy in 2011. Gaelic (Learners) and Gàidhlig (Fluent) are offered as subjects at Perth Academy and Breadalbane Academy, Aberfeldy. Pupils from all four secondary schools within Perth City have the option to choose Gaelic (Learners) at National 4 level from S5 as part of the Perth City Campus (PCC) initiative. Weekly Gaelic sessions are delivered in six schools across the Highland Perthshire region to over 600 primary pupils per year as part of the GLPS initiative. Perth College, part of the University of the Highlands & Islands, delivers seven Gaelic learners’ classes across Perth and Kinross as part of their adult learning programme. Perth & Kinross Council provides three additional classes in the community. Page | 6 Perth & Kinross Council Draft Gaelic Language Plan 2018 - 2022 Community The Gaelic Society of Perth, established in 1880, has supported and promoted Gaelic across three centuries. The society has evolved throughout its history and adapted its programme of educational events and cèilidhs to respond to the needs of each successive generation. The Gaelic Society of Perth hosts monthly Cèilidhs in the centre of Perth featuring a mix of Gaelic singers, choirs, poets, instrumental music and lectures. Two informal Gaelic conversation groups meet in Perth and are attended by both fluent speakers and learners of all stages. Gaelic Bookbug sessions are available in libraries across Perth and Kinross. Community groups, Comann nam Pàrant Obar Pheallaidh and Comann nam Pàrant Peairt actively support and promote Gaelic and Gaelic Medium Education within the area. A recent family learning weekend celebrating Gaelic language and culture, held in and around Aberfeldy alongside the provincial Mòd, brought GME pupils and their families from across Perth & Kinross, Angus and Stirling together. Arts, Culture, Heritage & Tourism The Perthshire & Angus Mòd delivered by the Aberfeldy & District branch of An Comunn Gàidhealach takes place in Aberfeldy attracting over five hundred entries annually. A range of Gaelic music, arts and literature events are included in the annual programme of events at Perth Concert Hall, Birnam Institute, Pitlochry Festival Theatre, The Birks Cinema and other arts venues in the area. This includes visits from the Fèis Rois and Fèis Spè Cèilidh Trail. Perthshire is home to two Gaelic Choirs - Aberfeldy Gaelic Choir who celebrated their 50 th Birthday in 2017 and Perth Gaelic Choir who re-founded in 2012. The Perth and Kinross area is renowned for other forms of traditional music, with a number of world-famous musicians being born and remaining resident in the area. Traditional music sessions form part of the weekly social scene in the City of Perth and surrounding towns. Traditional and Gaelic Musical events in the area are regularly broadcast on national media and Perth Concert Hall has played host to the Trad Awards on two occasions.

  • Perth & Kinross Council Archive Collections County Records
    Perth & Kinross Council Archive Collections County records CC1 Perth County Council, Perth and Kinross County Council Perth County Council was established by the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1889, taking over powers from the Commissioners of Supply, County Road Trust, and other local authorities. In 1891 the Boundary Commissioners made significant alterations to the boundaries between Perthshire and the adjoining counties of Fife, Forfar, Kinross and Stirling, including the transfer of the detached portion of Perthshire at Culross and Tulliallan to the county of Fife. Under the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1929, the county of Perth was combined with the county of Kinross for most, but not all purposes. Perth County Council and Perth and Kinross Joint County Council were both abolished in 1975 by the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1973, and the greater part of the county became part of Tayside Region, but with the western portion of the county being placed in Central Region. There were also some boundary changes in the east of the county with territory transferred to the new City of Dundee District Council and some of the territory of the county of Angus transferred to the new Perth & Kinross District Council. The present Perth & Kinross Council took over the functions of the former Tayside Regional Council and Perth & Kinross District Council in 1996 and regained tyhose parts of Perthshire that had been in the City of Dundee District since 1975. Stirling Council similarly took over the responsibilities of Central Regional Council

    3 11/437 PERTH AND KINROSS COUNCIL Lifelong Learning School Estate Sub-Committee – 1 September 2011 SERVICE ASSET MANAGEMENT PLAN 2011 (incorporating SCHOOL ESTATE MANAGEMENT PLAN) Report by Executive Director (Education and Children’s Services) ABSTRACT This report seeks approval of the Service Asset Management Plan (incorporating the School Estate Management Plan). 1 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Committee approve the Service Asset Management Plan (incorporating the School Estate Management Plan). 2 BACKGROUND This plan has been prepared to reflect the local implementation of Building Better Schools: Investing in Scotland’s Future, the national school estate strategy, developed by the Scottish Government in conjunction with local authorities. It contributes to the achievement of the 5 strategic objectives and 15 national outcomes set by Scottish Government. The aspirations, guiding principles and objectives contained within Building Better Schools are reflected throughout Education and Children’s Services Asset Management Plan for schools and public buildings both in the management of the existing asset and in the design and construction of developments. The Scottish Government announced a £1.25 billion school building programme to support the delivery of Building Better Schools and Perth and Kinross will be receiving grant support via the Scottish Futures Trust, for the redevelopment and extension of Invergowrie Primary School. 3 PROPOSALS 3.1 The attached plan sets out the developments that have been achieved within the property portfolio where Education and Children’s Services are provided and outlines the way forward for developing the school estate and public buildings over the coming years. As financial resources are constrained it is paramount that value for money, flexibility and adaptability are the key considerations for the estate.
