Study on Gaelic’s economic impact

Gaelic’s effect on economic growth in Scotland is to be investigated by public agencies, reports the BBC website.

The study will look at how many organisations employ staff in posts where Gaelic is deemed to be an essential skill.

Meanwhile, Highland Council is to consider setting up a Gaelic translation unit.

The plan is to provide the authority and other public bodies with a quality translation service.

The economic impact study is being funded by Careers Scotland, Bòrd na Gàidhlig and Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE).
