The highly successful "Gàidhlig air a’ Bhàta” (Gaelic on Board) project is back again this year and is working alongside The Gaelic Rings initiative.
Information Officers will be on board the ferries making the Oban/Coll/Tiree, Tiree/Barra, Uig/Lochmaddy/Tarbert and the Ullapool/Stornoway crossings.
The Officers will be provide passengers with some information on the Gaelic language and culture as well as information on things to do, places to see and events happening on the various Gaelic Rings.
As well as giving some information on the history of the language the Information Officers will provide passengers with an up to date picture of the current state of the language.
An opportunity to learn basic words and phrases will also be given to passengers in attendance as well information on the different ways available to learn the language.
Each session will conclude with Gaelic songs or music provided by the Information Officer.
Passengers attending the sessions will be encouraged to participate and at the end of each session to ask questions.
Tha am pròiseact air leth soirbheachail “Gàidhlig air a’ Bhàta” air ais am bhliadhna, an com-pàirt ri iomairt Cearcaill na Gàidhlig.

Gheibh luchd-siubhail an cothrom facail agus abairtean goirid ionnsachadh agus fiosrachadh mu na dòighean eadar-dhealaichte a tha rim faotainn gus a’ chànan ionnsachadh.
Crìochnaichidh gach seisean le ceòl no òran Gàidhlig bhon Oifigear Fiosrachaidh.
Bidh luchd-siubhail a tha an làthair air am brosnachadh gus pàirt a ghabhail agus ceistean fhaighneachd aig deireadh an t-
