Scottish History for All (Eachdraidh Albannach) is a voluntary body, which was set up in the year 2002, to promote knowledge of Scottish history and Gaelic. The founder members felt that there was a need for easily accessible, good quality information about Scottish history. In general it has been a much neglected area within the Scottish schools system.

Gaelic and its position within Scottish society has also been greatly neglected, and at times actively discouraged. The group wished to give Gaelic its place within mainstream Scottish history, and has arranged Gaelic learners' classes in conjunction with Clackmannanshire Council.

Scottish History for All is run by a committee of volunteers. It organises monthly lectures at a variety of venues with lecturers who are experts in their own particular field. The lectures are informal and easy to understand, and there is an opportunity to ask questions at the end. It is a successful format, which has allowed the group to build up a membership list of almost 70.

It also arranges field trips to places of historical interest.

The group receives no funding, but the popularity of lectures combined with the low entry charge (£2.50) has allowed the group to continue to grow and retain the services of excellent lecturers.

Our aims are:

• To run a series of lectures accessible to all;
• To promote Gaelic development through publicity, by organizing Gaelic Awareness Days, and by supporting Gaelic Adult Learner’s and conversational classes;
• To organize cultural and heritage events.
