councileach

Councileach is a term used in Scottish Gaelic to refer to a councilor or member of a council. The term is derived from the Gaelic word "council," which means a group of people assembled to make decisions, and "each," which means person. In the context of local government, a councileach is an elected representative who serves on a local council, such as a community council or a town council. The role of a councileach involves representing the interests of the local community, attending council meetings, and participating in decision-making processes related to local issues such as planning, infrastructure, and community services. Councileaches are typically elected by the local community through a democratic process, and their term of office may vary depending on the specific council. The term "councileach" is widely used in Scotland, particularly in areas where Gaelic is spoken or has historical significance.
