Apart from teaching in the Gaelic Department of Aberdeen University four days a week, his teaching abilities are also in high demand amongst varying organisations and groups, and this has taken not only all over Scotland but also as far as Canada, the United States and Germany.  You may have previously heard Alec on ‘Na Dùrachdan’ on BBC Radio nan Gàidheal, and he is heavily involved in the translation of scripts for children’s cartoons as well as delivering the voices for said cartoons.
