- Un mod és un festival de la cançó, arts i cultura en gaèlic escocès. Hi ha mòds locals i un mòd anual nacional, el Royal National Mod, organitzat sota els auspicis d'An Comunn Gàidhealach. Un mod té bàsicament l'estructura de les competicions formals. Hi domina la cançó (tant coral com individual) i la música tradicional gaèlica, amb gaites i . També hi ha actes centrats en la paraula, com la lectura de poesia, les rondalles, lectura de la Bíblia o monòlegs, i competicions literàries. Contràriament al National Mod, els mods locals solen durar un dia o dos, i atrauen una quantitat molt més petita de gent, essent l'únic esdeveniment social important el céilidh dels guanyadors. (ca)
- A mòd is an Eisteddfod-inspired festival of Scottish Gaelic song, arts and culture. Historically, the Gaelic word mòd (Scottish Gaelic: [mɔːt̪]), which came from Old Norse mót, refers to a Viking Age Thing or a similar kind of assembly. There are both local mòds, and an annual national mòd, the Royal National Mòd. Mòds are run under the auspices of An Comunn Gàidhealach. The term comes from a Gaelic word for a parliament or congress in common use during the Lordship of the Isles. A Mòd largely takes the form of formal competitions. Choral events (in Gaelic, both solo and choirs), and traditional music including fiddle, bagpipe and folk groups dominate. Spoken word events include children's and adult's poetry reading, storytelling and Bible reading, and categories such as Ancient Folk Tale or Humorous Monologue. Children can also present an original drama, and there are competitions in written Scottish Gaelic literature. Unlike the National Mòd, local mòds usually only last a day or two. They attract a much smaller crowd and the only notable social event is the winners' ceilidh. As there are fewer competitions than in the National Mòd, this ceilidh is often more like a traditional ceilidh with dancing and guest singers between the winners' performances. Culturally, mòds are comparable to an Irish Feis or Seachtain na Gaeilge or the Welsh eisteddfod, but without the ancient history or the fanciful 18th-century "druidic" pageantry created and introduced into the National Eisteddfod of Wales by Iolo Morganwg. In British Columbia, the Gaelic Society of Vancouver held a local Mòd biannually from 1990 to 2007. The first was organized by Donald F. MacDonald, the founder of the Grandfather Mountain Highland games in North Carolina, and held at Alexandria, Virginia in 1988. The US National Mòd is now held as part of the annual Highland games at Ligonier, Pennsylvania and sponsored by An Comunn Gàidhealach Ameireaganach ("The American Scottish Gaelic Society"). (en)
