Riaghaltas na h-Alba.


Mr Smith reads that "IT IS not only the Scottish Government, it is also Riaghaltas na h-Alba. The re-branding exercise by Alex Salmond's administration will see signs on six Scottish Government buildings given a makeover in Gaelic. "

Mr Smith seems to recall that at the last census there were only around 60,000 Gaelic speakers in Scotland, with an estimated loss of 1,500 speakers each year. Is the best way of tackling that cultural loss to be rebranding Scottish Executive ... sorry ... Scottish Government buildings?
