Irish Cultural Activities

Irish in Scotland

Irish Music Classes

The Classes in various aspects of Irish Culture are organised mainly by Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann and the Gaelic League.
Comhaltas was formed in Ireland in 1951 to promote Irish culture and the first Branch outside of Ireland was formed in Glasgow in 1957.
Conradh Na Gaeilge ( Gaelic League ) promotes the Irish language and is the oldest Irish organisation in Scotland having been formed in 1895, two years after it was founded in Ireland.
