A Short Gaelic Lesson
www.chatsubo.com/ambraighe/noframes/lessonnf.html

Gaelic is a Celtic language, closely related to Irish. Gaelic language and culture was established in Scotland by colonists from Ireland in the fourth century A.D. It was the language spoken by immigrants from the Highlands and Island of Scotland to Canada and is still spoken by their descendents today. Gaelic language learning is presently flourishing internationally. Hopefully this section will help you with your own language learning.

Ionnsaich a' Ghàidhlig!
www.dreaming.org/~goofy/gaidhlig.html

The Scots Gaelic language and culture has been very cruelly repressed by the English. But it's making a renaissance thanks to the UK government, ironically. The government gives the impression that Gaelic is widely spoken in northern Scotland. There are signs saying "tha a' Ghàidhlig a' bruidhinn an seo" (Gaelic is spoken here) in areas where it is actually spoken. A lot of the tourist pamphlets incorporate Gaelic into the titles. I hope the revival has not come too late
