Arthur Cormack has been confirmed as chairman of the Gaelic development body Bord na Gaidhlig.

Mr Cormack held the role in an acting capacity following Matthew MacIver’s decision to move to a new role last July.

Culture Minister Mike Russell welcomed the new appointment.

Mr Cormack, 43, from Skye, said: “I feel that this is an era of unprecedented opportunity and goodwill towards Gaelic.”
