CalMac are proud sponsors of the Royal National Mòd
Organised by An Comunn Gàidhealach (The Gaelic Association), this eight-day festival celebrating Gaelic language and culture is held annually in a different Scottish town or city bringing up to 7,500 visitors to the host area and over £1 million to the local economy.
There are over 200 competitions throughout the event ranging from traditional instruments like accordion, fiddle and piping, to solo Gaelic singing, storytelling, poetry, sport and choir competitions. The first half of the week is dedicated to children's competitions, while the second half is for adults. It draws in fluent and learner Gaelic speakers alike, with a host of other interested attendees. In addition to the competitive events there will be a large fringe programme.
