Mòd Ghallaibh 2010

The Royal National Mod, Scotland’s biggest Gaelic festival, is taking place in Caithness between Friday 8th October 2010 and Saturday 16th 2010.

The Royal National Mòd is organised by An Comunn Gàidhealach (The Highland Association) which was founded in Oban in 1891 and has HM The Queen as it's Patron. It is Scotland’s premier festival celebrating it's Gaelic linguistic and cultural heritage and provides opportunities for people of all ages to perform across a range of competitive disciplines including Gaelic Music and Song, Highland Dancing, Instrumental, Drama, Sport and Literature.

Although the focus of the Royal National Mod is on competition, the event also offers a wide and comprehensive programme of non-competitive “Fringe” events which regularly include performances from some of Scotland’s top traditional musicians and Gaelic singers.

The Mod also represents an annual opportunity for Gaels and non-Gaels to gather and renew old friendships as well as forging new ones. The Caithness Mod will be an enjoyable event whether you are local, visiting, young or old!
