“I’m passionate about languages – it’s an honour to be able to teach Gaelic in my home town.”
Sarah, who has passed her National 5 Gaelic exams and is now studying for her Higher, added: “So many place names here are Gaelic – now it’s about bringing the language alive.”
Anyone interested in joining Sarah’s class at Castle Douglas can email [email protected].
