John Francis Campbell of Islay travelled across the Highlands and Islands, recording Gaelic stories, songs, and traditions at a time when they risked being lost.

Born on Islay in 1821, he grew up speaking Gaelic with his family's piper. Later, as a scientist, traveller, and watercolour artist, he turned his attention to collecting folktales – leaving behind a wealth of information on Gaelic storytelling that is considered outstanding to this day.

His manuscripts are a memorial to one of the most industrious and likeable scholars of the Victorian age.

People are being invited to discover more about Gaelic language and culture this summer through a new week-long learning festival taking place in Fife.

Fèis Ionnsachaidh ann am Fìobha (Learning Festival in Fife) will run from 3–7 August at Dunfermline High School, offering a range of free activities designed to encourage both new and existing learners to engage with Gaelic.

The festival is open to learners aged 16 and over, as well as families, and aims to create new opportunities to learn, use and celebrate Gaelic in Fife.

Throughout the week, participants will be able to take part in intensive Gaelic language classes for beginners, intermediate and advanced learners, along with Gaelic cooking sessions, Gaelic singing, a shinty taster session and daily srùpags - informal opportunities to chat over a cup of tea or coffee. All activities are free to attend.

The festival is a partnership between Community Learning and Development, Communities and Neighbourhoods, the Fife Gaelic Development Group and the Workers’ Educational Association (WEA).

Organisers hope the event will encourage new learners to begin their Gaelic journey while providing additional opportunities for those already learning the language to develop their skills and confidence.

The festival is being promoted under the theme “Gach latha, gach àite, gach duine”, which means “Every day, every place, every person” and reflects the ambition to make Gaelic learning accessible to everyone in Fife.

Anyone interested in taking part can sign up via https://forms.office.com/e/2cFsfz7iMQ or contact the Community Learning and Development team at [email protected] for more information.

Fife Council is also currently consulting on its new Gaelic Language Plan, which will continue Fife Council’s commitment under the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005 to promote the language and ensure it is visible, valued and accessible.

The consultation is open for responses until August 7, and you can take part by visiting: https://haveyoursay.fife.gov.uk/communities/fife-gaelic-language-plan-2026-2031
