What is a language hub? What might a language hub do for the Gaelic community in Edinburgh and how might it work? There are many possible answers to these questions, but we can certainly learn a lot from the various kinds of language centres and hubs that are already running in Ireland and Wales, as well as the other Gaelic hubs in Scotland.
In these short videos, we asked representatives of four organisations, three in Scotland and one in Ireland, to tell us about their experiences developing their hubs and their plans for the future:

An Taigh Cèilidh, Stornoway [transcript]
An Lòchran, Glasgow [transcript]
Aonach Mhacha, Armagh [transcript]
