A lot more Gaidhlig schools are opening all over Scotland.
For a long time they were very insular and you could only attend Gaidhlig speaking schools or classes if you already had a certain amount of the language.
Now they've realised that people haven't been teaching their children and it's dying off they've really started pumping money into it to help people learn.
Which is very much a good thing!!!

I remember my grandad speaking fluent Gaelic when I was a lad in the 60s, mind, he was born in the 1890s! I also remember my mum's mum speaking fluent Welsh!

I know a handful of phrases in each, but no more, as yet.
