The Royal National Mod returns to Glasgow next month for first time since 1990

12 September 2019 (Glasgow Live)

Am Mòd Nàiseanta Rìoghail (The Royal National Mòd) will return to Glasgow next month after almost three decades.

The nine-day spectacular of Gaelic music, arts and sport will take place in Scotland's biggest city for the first time since 1990, with a host of activities and competitions on throughout the week.

An "outstanding" number of individual entrants have signed up this year, and that's been attributed to the "fantastic work" that organisers An Comunn Gàidhealach have done alongside the Royal National Mòd with Feisgoil and Glasgow Language Provision Schools, helping to encourage the learning of Gaelic in the early development phase.
