Bidh Fèis an Earraich a’ tachairt a h-uile bliadhna air feadh sgìre an Eilein Sgitheanaich agus Loch Aillse, a’ toirt cothroim do dh’oigridh pàirt a ghabhail anns na h-ealain Gàidhlig. Am-bliadhna bidh sinn anns a’ Phloc leis an 30mh Fèis làn chiùil, dràma, spòrs agus fealla-dha, agus tha sinn an dòchas gun gabh sibh an cothrom a bhith còmhla rinn tro sheachdain na Fèise.!

The aim of the week is to offer young people an enjoyable opportunity to receive intensive tuition in a range of subjects or instruments related to traditional music, Gaelic language and culture. As well as the daily classes, there will be a full programme of evening activities including games, sports and a cèilidh dance.
