It is good to read of initiatives such as this.

May success be with them.

I agree it is good to see such initiatives taking place especially with Michael Foxley as the local councillor.
He will make things really happen if anyone can, as he has a crucial position both on Highland Council and in the local community. Without him nothing would have happened locally.

The time has come to have all the schools in Lochaber as Gaelic schools and if anyone can do it he can.

Micheal Foxley has lost his focus, and is also scared now to talk out on Gaelic as he did before. Previously he was free to say what he wanted, but now - as a Board Member of Bord na Gaidhlig - he now feels he has to 'tow the line'. Before, he was a 'radical': now he is part of the establishment. He needs to get back to his roots.

Micheal Foxley endorses Bord na Gaidhlig, for all their failings. He is a great disappointment. Bring back the Michael Foxley of old. Where are you, Micheal? We miss you.

All things Gaelic - it must be the time of the year. I was passing through Princes Street last week and came across a set of Characters called the Weatherfriends - they seemed to be promoting a set of kids books available in English, Gaelic and Welsh - their idea was to try and promote cross language development for kids starting at the age of 3 upwords - i think they were providing bi-lingual content also - so the move seems to be on
