GalGael Trust is a community and heritage association located in Govan, Glasgow, Scotland, near the River Clyde. It is best known for building and sailing wooden boats in celebration of Scotland's heritage.

Origins

GalGael was founded in the mid-1990s by Colin Macleod.

The phrase "GalGael" comes from 9th-century Norsemen, who mingled with native Celts; gall meant "foreigner", and gael meant "native".[citation needed]
