Chaidh na ciad Buinn 脪ir a bhuannachadh ann an 1893 san 脪ban, agus bhon uairsin tha an fharpais air diofar atharrachaidhean fhaicinn - a thaobh cruth, an 脿ireamh a tha a' gabhail p脿irt, agus anns an d貌igh seinn. Gheibh Catr矛ona an tuilleadh a-mach mu na h-atharrachaidhean sin, agus seallaidh i cuideachd air na leasachaidhean ann an saoghal ci霉il na G脿idhlig. A bheil an aon urram fhathast ann co-cheangailte ri a bhith a' buannachadh a' bhuinn 貌ir? D猫 na bha e a' ciallachadh dhaibhsan a choisinn e thar nam bliadhnaichean, agus d猫 na cothroman a th'ann dhaibh-san a tha ga bhuannachadh san l脿 an-diugh. Am measg an fheadhainn a tha a' gabhail p脿irt - Ceana Chaimbeul, Darren MacIlleathain, Tormod MacIlleathain, Kirsteen NicD貌mhnaill, Mairead NicLe貌id, agus Anna Latharna NicIlliosa. Am Bonn 脪ir - turas tro na bliadhnaichean, a' coimhead air an fheadhainn a tha air Bonn 脪ir cli霉iteach a' Chomuinn Gh脿idhealaich a chosnadh.
In 2015, Carrie MacNeil was the latest in a long line of singers to win the prestigious Comunn G脿idhelach Gold Medal. A year on, Carrie reflects on her year and looks at the history of this iconic competition, one of the premier awards for Gaelic singing in Scotland.
The first gold medals were won in 1893 in Oban, and since then the competition has seen many different changes - in format, in numbers taking part, and in styles of singing. Carrie finds out more about the changes there have been over the years and also looks at the changes in Gaelic music generally. Does winning the gold medal still mean the same now as it did in the past? What did it mean for those who have won it over the years, and what opportunities are there now for the Mod Gold Medallists? Amongst those taking part are Kenna Campbell, Darren MacLean, Norman MacLean, Kirsteen MacDonald, Margaret MacLeod and Anne Lorne Gillies.
