Consultation Response: Managing the Old and New Towns of Edinburgh World Heritage Site

Bòrd na Gàidhlig has submitted a response to Edinburgh World Heritage‘s consultation, in partnership with Edinburgh’s historic city managers, Historic Environment Scotland, and the City of Edinburgh Council, on Managing the Old and New Towns of Edinburgh World Heritage Site. Amongst the points raised, we said:

“There is no reference to Gaelic in the two documents although there are some references to language and intangible cultural heritage.

“As Scotland’s capital city Edinburgh should look to support the growth of the unique Gaelic language and culture which is part of our national identity.”
