N2 - This paper describes the growth and success of the An Ceathramh Gaelic language teaching centre in Rogart, Sutherland, Scotland from 1992 to 2001. It is an example of a private, community-based initiative, which contrasts markedly with top-down, agency directed projects which are the norm in Gaelic development in Scotland. An Ceathramh had a wide influence on local Gaelic, by teaching the local dialect, promoting music and dance, and by bringing parents together who later established a Gaelic medium school. It is an example of how much can be achieved in a community by working with available resources
