The language of Gaelic has been spoken in Scotland since at least the 10th century and was at one time the country’s main language, widespread in towns and cities across the nation. It is pronounced in English with the soft “a” of words like “father” and is not to be confused with Irish Gaelic, pronounced with the hard “a” of “table”.
Since the union of Scotland and England in the early 18th century, though, it has been in decline. These days you are most likely to find native Gaelic speakers in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, with concerns having been raised about the future of the language.
