Dundee is among a group of local authorities in north east Scotland who commissioned research, funded by Bòrd na Gàidhlig and carried out by Duncan Sneddon from the University of Aberdeen, into the history, current situation and future opportunities for Gaelic. If you'd like a copy of the research findings, please email: gaelic@dundeecity.gov.uk. You can listen to a summary of Duncan's research here:
