Well done to everyone that took part in the local mod An Comunn Gàidhealach Meur Ìle - The Islay Local Mod great to see so many young ones participating 👏 ⭐️

A huge thank you to all those involved in another successful Mòd Ìle last weekend. Adjudicators, the Committee, Volunteers, the fantastic Competitors, their tutors and parents, and St John's Church Ladies pulled out all the stops to ensure the day was filled with music, song and great Islay Gaelic.

The excellent Rae MacKenzie was our roaming photographer and has produced the album linked below as a reminder of the day:

We're excited about our Spring Fayre this coming Saturday!

Join us for cuppa and some home baking, and browse a range of crafts, plants, chutneys, books, jigsaws and bric a brac.

We'll be in Partick South Church, so why not pair a visit with a trip to the Farmers' Market in Mansfield Park over the road?

We'd love to see you! We'll be in Partick South (Victoria Park) Church, 10-12:30 - £3 in and that gets you tea/coffee and a sweet treat 😋
