Search the NLS catalogue in Gaelic

The National Library of Scotland has announced that its main catalogue can now be searched in Gaelic (GĂ idhlig), providing access to some 5 million records. The new facility is available as part of the library's commitment to promoting and revitalising the use of the Gaelic language in Scotland. To perform searches in Gaelic visit http://main-cat.nls.uk/vwebv/searchBasic?sk=nls_gae (from the English language version at  page click on 'Gaelic Version' in the top right of the screen)


The library' National Gaelic Language Plan has also been launched and can be consulted online, in both English and Gaelic, at the following URLs:
