A selection of Bob Dylan songs are to be performed in Gaelic for the first time in Glasgow this weekend (May 24).

The songs, including 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door', 'All Along The Watchtower' and 'She Belongs To Me', were originally translated by Isle Of Skye resident Rody Gorman.

The tracks will be performed by a full band at Glasgow's Leabhar's Craic Gaelic Festival on Saturday, reports BBC News.
