"Each Celtic language and nation's history, context, and modern experience is different - but there's a shared desire to give each community programmes that reflect their identity and voice."Presenter Cathy MacDonald added: "As an international jury member for some years at the festival, I've observed that categories overall are markedly stronger and more diverse, despite a challenging industry landscape.

"For me this suggests a growing confidence in our respective languages, enriched by that awareness of our shared cultural heritage within the Celtic nations."Year on year we see a boldness in tackling difficult subjects within programmes that are all the more meaningful for being produced within the languages of the audiences concerned."Alongside those who have travelled hundreds of miles were representatives of Cornwall, and the Cornish language.

They recorded their best ever parliamentary election result in Scotland - with a 26% share of the vote.

The party's deputy leader Richard Tice said the result was a "massive boost" going into the May 2026 vote.If John Swinney is to remain as Scotland's first minister, it seems he cannot rely on presenting the SNP as the only alternative to Nigel Farage and Reform UK.

Both the SNP and Labour lost vote share in this by-election but the punishment for the SNP, in power at Holyrood for the last 18 years, was far greater.They repeatedly framed this contest as a two horse race between them and Reform UK. Their billboards in the constituency still make that claim. It was obviously wrong.
