  • Summary

  • Gaelic is the founding language of Scotland and, for a long time, its dominant language. After suffering a significant decline in usage over the last few centuries it's back on the upswing. What is this language? How is it being taught? What is the future of Gaelic?

    We talk to Marsaili MacLeod from Sabhal Mòr Ostaig – the National Centre for Gaelic Language and Culture - to learn more. In this episode we cover:

    • The history of Sabhal Mòr Ostaig
    • The differences between Gaelic, Scots and Irish Gaelic
    • Scotland's approach to teaching Gaelic
    • Ways you might learn the language from Canada or the United States
