Chaidh Seachdain na Gàidhlig no Edinburgh Gaelic Festival a stèidheachadh le Oilthigh Dhùn Èideann ann an 2014.
As dèidh da sheachdain shoirbheachail, chaidh aontachadh gum bu chòir do Sheachdain na Gàidhlig a bhuntainn do Dhùn Èideann air fad. Bha an fhèis air a ruith air feadh a’ bhaile gach Samhain le comataidh saor-thoileach le taic bho Oilthigh Dhùn Èideann agus Comhairle Baile Dhùn Èideann. Ann an 2022, chaidh aontachadh gum bu chòir do Sheachdain na Gàidhlig ruith aig a’ cheart àm ri World Gaelic Week, Seachdain
na Gàidhlig cuideachd, a chaidh a stèidheachadh ann an 2021. Ann an 2023, bidh Seachdain na Gàidhlig | Dùn Èideann a’ dèanamh fèill air coimhearsnachd Gàidhlig Dhùn Èideann agus àite a’ chànain anns a’ bhaile mhòr còmhla ris na comharrachaidhean eile air a’ Ghàidhlig a bhios a’ tachairt ann an Alba agus air feadh an t-saoghail!

Seachdain na Gàidhlig or Edinburgh Gaelic Festival was established by the University of Edinburgh in 2014.
After two successful festivals, in Spring and Autumn of that year, it was agreed that Seachdain na Gàidhlig should belong to all of Edinburgh. The festival ran annually across the city every November organised by a committee of volunteers and with support from the University of Edinburgh and the City of Edinburgh Council. In 2022, it was agreed that Seachdain na Gàidhlig should run at the same time as the wider World Gaelic Week, also called Seachdain na Gàidhlig, which launched in 2021. In 2023, Gaelic Week | Edinburgh, formally Edinburgh Gaelic Festival, will celebrate Edinburgh’s Gaelic community and the place of the language in the capital city in tandem with the wider celebrations of all things Gaelic in Scotland and across the world!
