Ainmean-Àite na h-Alba Ainmean-Àite na h-Alba (AÀA) ~ Gaelic Place-Names of Scotland ~ is the national advisory partnership for Gaelic place-names in Scotland.

Our purpose is to agree correct and consistant forms of Gaelic place-names for maps, signs and general use. We draw on the expertise of our member organisations, local knowledge and historical sources to agree authoritative forms of Gaelic place-names. Our Gazeteer for Gaelic Place-names is available on our website. This database offers definitive forms which can be used by local authorities, the media, researchers, local communities, walkers and climbers or anyone with an interest in place-names, including historical information, local opinion and sound files to help with pronunciation. For more information please visit our bilingual website: www.ainmean-aite.org

Tha an oifigear pròiseict againn air a bhith an sàs anns a' chùrsa seo. Ma tha sibh ann an Glaschu, nach gabh sibh an cothrom dol dhan taisbeanadh is faicinn na tha iad air a bhith ris.

Taisbeanadh aig An Lòchran | Exhibition at An Lòchran

Air Dihaoine 9 Dàmhair, eadar 2f agus 8f, bidh taisbeanadh aig An Lòchran, mar phàirt den Am Mòd Nàiseanta Rìoghail, mar thoradh air seachdainean de dh'obair air a' chùrsa aig Cùm Alba Bòidheach, A’ Cruthachadh Thaisbeanaidhean. Bhiodh e math nam b' urrainn dhuibh tadhal a-steach agus taic a thoirt dhan fheadhainn a bha an sàs ann.

On Friday 9 October, between 2pm and 8pm, as part of the Mod's programme, An Lòchran will be hosting an exhibition showcasing the culmination of weeks of work on Keep Scotland Beautiful's Creating Exhibitions course. It would be great to see people drop by and support everyone involved.

Fàilte chridheil air a h-uile duine! / Everyone welcome! 😊

Eileamaid na seachdaine

-dal 'valley'

Thàinig seo bhon fhacal Lochlannach 'dalr' a tha a' ciallachadh gleann agus air an àbhaist tha seo aig deireadh an ainm-àite

This comes from the Old Norse word 'dalr' which means valley and generally comes at the end of a place-name
