Farpais Ainmean-àite Gàidhlig: Buannachdan / Gaelic Place Names Competition Winners
Farpais Ainmean-àite Gàidhlig: Buannachdan / Gaelic Place Names Competition Winners
Ruith sinn farpais airson sgoiltean Gàidhlig is Beurla air feadh na h-Alba, far an robh cothrom aig sgoilearan de gach ìre rannsachadh a dhèanamh air a’ Ghàidhlig le bhith a’ beachdachadh air ainmean-àite Gàidhlig mun cuairt orra agus tro dhealbhadh mhapaichean stèidhichte air an dualchas, na h-àiteachan, agus na h-ainmean Gàidhlig ionadail aca.
We ran a competition for both Gaelic and English schools across Scotland, giving pupils of all ages the opportunity to explore Gaelic by researching local Gaelic place names and creating artwork inspired by their local heritage and surroundings.
Fhuair sinn barrachd na trì cheud inntrigeadh, agus bha an fharpais gu math faisg, le tòrr bheachdan 's dhòighean gus sgilean Ealain agus Gàidhlig a chleachdadh gu h-èifeachdach. Mòran taing airson nan inntrigidhean!
We received well over 300 entries and it was a very close competition with many brilliant ideas and ways of incorporating Gaelic and art skills to create some really fantastic pieces of work. Thank you for all the fantastic entries!
