An Comunn Gaidhealach, organisers of Am Mòd Naiseanta Rioghail announced at the beginning of June 2005 that the event will be rotated around a set number of locations based on the five regions of Scotland where An Commun has its membership base.  The new system will be aimed at eliminating towns and villages regarded as unsuitable.

The regions running the Mòd from 2008 will be as follows:

            2008 – South West Region

            2009 – Argyll Region

            2010 – Northern Region

            2011 – Western Isles Region

            2012 – Argyll

            2013 – Northern Region

            2014 – South East Region

An Comunn has agreed to introduce this new system, which will see the Mòd return in rotation to areas within the 5 regions.  Both Argyll and Highland will host the Mòd every three years as the main towns in their respective areas are suitable – Dunoon and Oban and Inverness and Fort William.  It will be held in the Western Isles every six years.  The local Branches of An Comunn Gaidhealach in the appropriate area will still be required to bid for the Mòd.
