On Friday 16th May, over 250 people of all ages from the Lochs community, and further afield, gathered at North Lochs Community Centre to watch and take part in an innovative and unique Gaelic community project using drama, songs, story and fashion. Na Mo Chuid Aodaich (meaning in my clothes) was led by Pròiseact nan Ealan and Crossroads Care Lewis, but could not have happened without the support and enthusiasm of local community members who pushed the project from an idea to a reality.
