Comunn Oiseanach Oilthigh Ghlaschu
The Comunn Oiseanach Oilthigh Ghlaschu ("University of Glasgow Ossian Society") was established in 1831 and is the second-oldest organization on campus. Originally formed as a discussion group in Scottish Gaelic, it has broadened its focus to raising awareness about the Gaelic language and culture, aiming to strengthen it especially among students of the University of Glasgow. The Comunn's motto is "lean-sa dlùth ri cliù do shinnsre".
