An Gàidheal Ùr was a 12-page monthly newspaper published in Scottish Gaelic. The name means New Gael in a play on an older magazine publication called An Gàidheal. People usually received the paper as a supplement in the West Highland Free Press or by subscription. It ceased publication in 2009 after funding and advertising from Bòrd na Gàidhlig ended.[1]
