A strategy to increase the use of Gaelic language must deliver tangible results, particularly after increased funding, the Conservatives have said.
The Scottish Government's national Gaelic plan for 2014/15 is aimed at safeguarding the future of the declining language by promoting learning, increasing its use and enhancing its status.
Languages Minister Alasdair Allan told MSPs the plan, to be managed by public body Brrd na G'idhlig, is an "unapologetic strategy for growth".
