The Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005 was passed by the Scottish Parliament with a view to securing the status of the Gaelic language as an official language of Scotland commanding equal respect to the English language.

One of the key features of the 2005 Act is the provision enabling Bòrd na Gàidhlig to require public authorities to prepare Gaelic Language Plans. This provision was designed to ensure that the public sector in Scotland plays its part in creating a sustainable future for Gaelic by raising its status and profile and creating practical opportunities for its use.

The 2005 Act requires public bodies to bring the preparation of its Gaelic Language Plan to the attention of all interested parties.

Bòrd na Gàidhlig provides public authorities with official notification of when they must prepare their Plan and details of the high level aims which should be met by the Plan.

Chaidh Achd na Gàidhlig (Alba) 2005 aontachadh le Pàrlamaid na h-Alba gus inbhe na Gàidhlig a dhaingneachadh mar chànan oifigeil ann an Alba do bheilear a' toirt an aon spèis ris a' Bheurla.

'S e aon de na prìomh fheartan san Achd 2005 an t-ullachadh a tha a' toirt comas do Bhòrd na Gàidhlig iarraidh air ùghdarrasan poblach Planaichean Gàidhlig a dheasachadh. Rinneadh an t-ullachadh seo los gum bi roinn phoblach na h-Alba a' cuideachadh le Gàidhlig a chumail seasmhach san àm ri teachd le bhith ag àrdachadh a h-inbhe is ìomhaigh agus a' cruthachadh chothroman practaigeach airson a cleachdadh.

Tha Achd 2005 a' cur riatanas air buidhnean poblach aire gach neach aig am biodh ùidh a tharraing gu deasachadh Plana na Gàidhlig aca.

Tha Bòrd na Gàidhlig a' toirt fios oifigeil do bhuidhnean gum feum iad am Plana aca ullachadh agus fiosrachadh mu àrd-amasan a bu chòir don Phlana a choileanadh.
