Ferry firm launches Gaelic plan

Ferry operator Caledonian MacBrayne (CalMac) has claimed to be the first national transport company to set out plans to make greater use of Gaelic.

The company said it will aim to improve its dealings with Gaelic speaking customers and staff.

CalMac's new language plan includes a pledge to offer services in Gaelic to the same standard it does in English.

Other aims include training in Gaelic for staff and for it to be used on recruitment posters.
