Uist 2030 is a community-led effort to protect, strengthen and grow Gaelic in Uist. It’s for fluent speakers, learners, families, young people, newcomers and long-time residents – anyone who uses or supports Gaelic, at home or away. It’s also for local groups, public bodies and service providers – those with a role in ensuring Gaelic continues to be a living language across our islands – to encourage them to get involved and to work together to deliver on their own Gaelic Plan commitments.

Iain MacDonald hails from Glenuig, a small Gaelic-speaking village in Moidart on Scotland's West Coast. He attended Queen Victoria School in Dunblane, where he studied piping under the guidance of Pipe Major John M. MacKenzie.

A pioneering figure in Gaelic arts, Iain co-founded Fir Chlis, Scotland's first Gaelic theatre company, before embarking on a distinguished musical career. He spent nine years touring internationally with the acclaimed folk band Ossian, and also performed with Wolfstone and The Battlefield Band during the 1990s. His recording credits include The First Harvest, a duo album with Glenfinnan fiddler Iain MacFarlane.

Beyond music, Iain has an extensive background in theatre and film. He performed with companies such as 7:84 Scotland, contributed to landmark productions including Bill Bryden's The Ship, and appeared as both actor and musician in various film projects.

As a producer, Iain has shaped the sound of contemporary Scottish traditional music, working on albums for leading artists such as Julie Fowlis, Kathleen MacInnes, Blazin' Fiddles, Dàimh, and many others. His contributions were recognized in 2012 when he was inducted into the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame.

A dedicated educator, Iain has taught at universities and festivals worldwide, including Limerick University, Boston College, the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, and several campuses of the University of the Highlands and Islands. He has served as Artistic Director of Ceòlas for many years, continuing to inspire and nurture the vibrant musical and cultural life of the Hebrides and beyond.
