New Gaelic Medium Primary Unit for the Glen Urquhart area

That's good news.

Here in Wales there is an official bilingual policy and the teaching of Welsh is compulsory in schools. Many schools even teach through the medium of Welsh.

I don't believe that there is actually a policy like that in Scotland. Much of that may be because Gallic was not univerally spoken there whereas in Wales, Welsh once was.

Well, that depends on how far back you are considering. If you went back before the Anglo-Saxon invasions, then there certainly would have been a time when Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig) was the chief language. For example, "Scottish Gaelic was spoken throughout Scotland (apart from small areas in the extreme south-east and north-east) between the 9th and 11th centuries...." from http://www.omniglot.com/writing/gaelic.htm
