Uncertainty surrounds whether the Royal National Mòd will take place in Inverness this October. The event â which would bring upwards of £2.5 million to the local economy â may have to be postponed for a second year due to the pandemic. Alongside the 10-day event, city businesses are set to be involved in providing a fringe programme boosting the economy further. Calling it off would be another blow for the area following similar decisions by organisers of the Highland Cross, the Black Isle Show and Etape Loch Ness. But ongoing restrictions are impacting preparations for organiser An Comunn Gà idhealach and competitors.
