The Environment | An Àrainneachd

It’s more important now than it ever has been that we look after the Environment and discuss and challenge the biggest issues threatening it. Gaelic is a language with deep-rooted ties to Scotland’s landscape and environment, so we thought you might want to learn some Gaelic environmental words.
