A cluster of four independent Highland heritage organisations has come together to work towards a shared goal of increasing and promoting the use of Gaelic language across their sites and throughout their outreach activities. Gairloch Museum, West Highland Museum, Highland Museum of Childhood and Applecross Historical Society all share a common purpose to promote, encourage and inspire interest in the history, heritage, culture and character of the Highlands. Collectively, they seek the support of a Gaelic Development Officer, to explore and identify opportunities for alternative interpretation of collections, engagement with more diverse audiences and the creation of employment, volunteer and funding opportunities, by encouraging the use of Gaelic language across services and activities that align with this shared purpose.
