Gàidhlig Medium Education

Gàidhlig medium education has come a long way since it began in the 80's with many Gaelic schools now established in some of Scotland's cities. The first Gaelic class started in the Western Isles in 1986 in Breasclete school. Anne Lundon was educated through Gaelic medium in the first Gaelic class in Laxdale school, and this week she is in Lewis looking at how it's developed over the years. How successful has it been? And what is the best way forward?
