At sportscotland we see a Scotland where sport and physical activity are woven into the fabric of our society, positively impacting on our people and communities.
There are many parallels between our vision and that of Bòrd na Gàidhlig: to build a sustainable future for Gaelic as a living language in modern Scottish life.
This sense of affinity allows our organisation to have a great clarity of purpose as we introduce and implement our first Gaelic Language Plan (2017-21), through which we aim to support Bòrd na Gàidhlig and meet the duties laid out in the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005.
At sportscotland we are committed to promoting equality and inclusion, and in this we can identify another parallel with the work of Bòrd na Gàidhlig. The Gaelic language is a vital part of our national identity and, as such, demands equal respect.
Our Gaelic Language Plan will enable us to communicate positive messages and facilitate opportunity for Gaelic development throughout sportscotland networks and the wider Scottish sporting community.
