Launch of new bi-lingual website
Launch of new bi-lingual website
28 February 2005

Fòram Gàidhlig Inbhir Nis (Inverness Gaelic Forum) are proud to announce the official launch of it’s new bi-lingual website: www.inbhirnis.org .  This site is dedicated to informing the public on Gaelic issues and events in and around Inverness as well as a promotional tool for the work of the Forum. 

Brian Ó hEadhra, Development Officer with the forum states: ‘Inverness has a higher proportion of Gaelic speakers per head of population than any other city in Scotland and we felt it was time that Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, should have a Gaelic dedicated website.  There are many Gaelic language events happening in Inverness throughout the year and we hope that locals and visitors will access the site to learn about what Gaelic events are happening in the city and what Gaelic services are on offer here.’ 

The new website has a number of facets; for example, if you are interested in finding out what Gaelic classes are available in the area there is a page dedicated to Gaelic education.  There is also a forum page on the site where people can comment on the site content and engage in lively discussion about Gaelic and related activities. 

Alasdair MacLeòid, acting Chair of the Forum, states: ‘This is an exciting time for Fòram Gàidhlig Inbhir Nis; we are a new group dedicated to promoting Gaelic in the Highland capital and what better way to promote our aims and Gaelic events than through a regularly updated, informative website.’

The site is fully bi-lingual and easily read.  Groups and individuals who are holding Gaelic language events are asked to send any information on their upcoming event to: fios@inbhirnis.org .  The site is updated weekly and is under continual development. 

Fòram Gàidhlig Inbhir Nis is grateful for the generous financial support towards this project from the Gaelic in the Community Scheme, incorporating Highland Council, Inverness & Nairn Enterprise and European Funding, as well as funding from Bòrd na Gàidhlig.
