2021 is the 1500th anniversary of the birth of St Columba
Bòrd na Gàidhlig are coordinating a year of global celebrations marking St Columba’s birth in 521AD – entitled Colmcille 1500.
“Colmcille 1500″ will last from 7th December 2020 to 7th December 2021.
And they are hoping that communities and organisations with St Columba related sites and heritage will come together and co-ordinate their events.
Foras na Gaeilge have a selection of funding opportunities
