GAELIC education and community projects will benefit from almost £3 million as part of plans to expand the reach of the language across Scotland.
The Gaelic Capital Fund, which is now in its 14th year, will help support the growth of a number of projects over the coming year.
These will include developing Gaelic school units in Tain and Skye, supporting the development of Gaelic on Barra, improving facilities at Glasgow Gaelic School and delivering a new classroom at Tong Primary School on the Isle of Lewis.
