Ceòlas provides a unique opportunity to experience the living tradition within a vibrant Gaelic landscape. The organisation seeks to celebrate, promote and nurture traditional music, language, culture and heritage, collaborating with local, national and international communities who have shared interests.

Tha Ceòlas a’ tairgsinn cothrom air leth eòlas fhaighinn air beul-aithris beò ann an tìr inntinneach. Tha am buidheann a’ cur luaidh air ceòl traidiseanta, cànan, cultar agus dualchas, a’ co-obrachadh le coimhearsnachdan ionadail, nàiseanta agus eadar-nàiseanta aig a bheil na h-aon amasan.
