About the Mòd

This will be the second time Paisley has hosted the Mòd, the last time being 2013. At the time 2013 was one of the best attended years in the event’s history.

The Royal National Mòd is organised by An Comunn Gàidhealach (The Highland Association), which was founded in Oban in 1891. Famous for celebrating our Gaelic linguistic and cultural heritage, it is Scotland’s premier Gaelic festival. The Royal National Mòd provides opportunities for people of all ages to perform across a range of competitive disciplines.

The support of organisations such as Caledonian MacBrayne, The Royal Mail Group and BBC Scotland has helped to cement the Royal National Mòd as Scotland’s main Gaelic cultural festival.

The international dimension of the Royal National Mòd continues to grow with the support of EventScotland. The leading Gaelic language promotion and development organisations in Scotland all offer considerable support, including, Bòrd na Gàidhlig and Comunn na Gàidhlig, the Comhairle nan Leabhraichean, HIE and the MG Alba.

The main venue will be Paisley Town Hall, currently being transformed as part of a wider investment by Renfrewshire Council in the town’s cultural venues.
