PLANS to install a non-native speaker as head of a Gaelic school in Inverness have come under fire.
Highland Council cannot find a fluent Gael to be head-teacher at the £4 million Bun-sgoil Ghaidhlig Inbhir Nis. The current acting head is from Sweden.
It is a non-teaching post with a salary of almost £50,000, but attempts to attract a native Gael have been unsuccessful over two years. So it has been decided to widen the net and learners of the language will now be considered.
