Once the national language of Scotland, Gaelic was gradually
overtaken by Scots and in the nineteenth century its use was
actively discouraged. At one time it even seemed possible that
Gaelic would become extinct. There is now a strong revival of
interest in Gaelic with Gaelic schools and more people learning the
language.
The Gaelic English English Gaelic Dictionary is a fascinating and
useful guide to the Celtic language of the Western Highlands and
Islands of Scotland. Once the predominant language of the area,
Gaelic has survived the vicissitudes of reformers and Anglophones
to become once again an important part of Scotland s culture.
