Euan Macleod has taken on the role at Urras Coimhearsnachd Bhràdhagair agus Àrnoil (Bragar and Arnol Community Trust) which was set up in 2012 to benefit the community of around 600 people of which 70% speak Gaelic.
Brought up in the city of Edinburgh and attended Bun Sgoil Crois na Cìse, Euan has strong connections to Bragar, having spent many holidays at his family home in the village.
Euan attended Sabhal Mòr Ostaig in Skye and has experience of working with different areas of the community.

The new role is being funded by Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) and Bòrd na Gàidhlig as a pilot collaborative project which aims to develop a sustainable community hub, with Gaelic at its core.
