An Lòchran is a non profit organisation which exists to develop and promote the Gaelic arts in Glasgow, and to establish a Gaelic cultural centre in the city. Glasgow and Gaelic are inextricably linked. The city has been home to a large community of Gaelic speakers since the 18th century, and today, one in every six Gaelic speakers in Scotland resides in, or around Glasgow. An Lòchran strives to celebrate our rich cultural traditions and aims to bring this culture within reach of a wider population.

We welcome contact from anyone with an interest in Gaelic arts.
