Air Aoigheachd

Enjoying hospitality

Aoigheachd (hospitality) means offering food, drink or accommodation to travellers or friends who are visiting you.

The hospitality and tourism industry is a large part of the economy in the Highlands, and to varying degrees, throughout Scotland.

You will receive a warm, hearty welcome if you go to the Highlands on holiday because the Gaels (Highlanders) are known as hospitable people.

This idea can be seen in the expression: Chuir e fàilte is furan orm, mar bu dual do smior a’ Ghàidheil (He treated me with every show of warmth, as befitting of a true Gael).

The hospitality industry includes every economic activity that directly or indirectly contributes to, or depends on, travel and tourism.
