History


The Royal National Mòd® is organised by An Comunn Gàidhealach (The Highland Association) which was founded in Oban in 1891. It is Scotland’s premier festival celebrating its Gaelic linguistic and cultural heritage and provides opportunities for people of all ages to perform across a range of competitive disciplines including Gaelic Music and Song, Highland Dancing, Instrumental, Drama, Sport and Literature.
Although the focus of the Royal National Mòd is on competition, the event also offers a wide and comprehensive programme of non-competitive “Fringe” events which regularly include performances from some of Scotland’s top traditional musicians and Gaelic singers.


In addition to providing a national and international platform for promotion of the Gaelic language and culture, the Mòd provides a major economic and cultural boost to the host area and also attracts considerable national and international publicity, raising the profile of the host location. The Mòd also represents an annual opportunity for Gaels and non-Gaels to gather and renew old friendships as well as forging new ones.
