Five magical journeys unveiled

A series of five new journeys into the heart of the Gaelic world have been launched. The Gaelic Rings, or Cearcaill na Gàidhlig, initiative is a groundbreaking series of trails celebrating Gaelic culture throughout the Hebridean islands and West Highland mainland.

The project is run by HITRANS, Bòrd na Gàidhlig, Caledonian MacBrayne, VisitScotland, Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, Argyll and Bute Council and Highland Council.

The new website www.gaelic-rings.com was also launched.

Well known Scottish celebrities have been commissioned to write about their experiences of travelling one of the routes.
