That is a really interesting point there Uilleam. I am sure they do not
produce one and are not set up for it - but in the interest of promoting the
workings of the Scottish parliament I see no reason why you could not ask
them - they do produce it in Braille for people who are blind or partially
sighted - but they don't say if they do this in Gaelic and Scots ( I'm sure
it will only be in English ). But why not ask them if they can produce a
tape for you of if in Gaelic. Why not let "CLI" - the organisation in
Scotland that promotes the learning of the Gaelic language in Scotland and
fights battles for better Gaelic access know
(http://www.cli.org.uk/cgi-bin/main)
 - they would be very interested in this.

Let me know how you get on

mar sin leibh!
