An Lòchran has named Duncan MacNeil as their new Development Manager. Duncan is from Barra and brings extensive experience of working in the Gaelic media sector, in both production and in front of the camera, as well as live theatre work.

In his new role working with the An Lòchran Board, Duncan will progress new projects at an exciting time in Gaelic Development in Glasgow. With Glasgow City Council's recently launched Gaelic Language Plan it is a time of great opportunity to work with partners and grow Gaelic arts activity in the city. Duncan will be based at Mansfield Street in Partick working with other Gaelic development partners.

Duncan said: "I am very pleased to have been appointed to the post of Development Manager with An Lochran. Since childhood, I have had a passion for Gaelic and the arts. With An Lòchran, I have a fantastic opportunity to contribute greatly to the development of new Gaelic arts projects in Glasgow, where the city and Gaelic are so closely and strongly linked". 

An Lòchran worked with Sgoil Ghàidhlig Ghlaschu to produce a Gaelic Calendar with designs by pupils from P7 - S2.
