Highland Scot? I was in Scotland a few years ago and looked into it while I was there, but there was more nuance than I was really prepared for. From what I remember, Gaelic was more of a lowland/Caledonia thing
What does Yas Forums think of our langauge?

looks like a trick to make scotts appear more distinct from english than it is

>Literally have 0 Gaelic ancestors and Gaelic has never been a langauge used where I live.
Yes it was. Unlike if you're from Shetland or Orkney of course. Or the Borders/Lothians. Everything else (including Glasgow, Edinburough) used to be Gaelic at som point.
I don't actually think you should learn Gaelic though. Just stop attention whoring.
It's literally the other way around you stupid fuck.

>Gaelic was Lowland thing
Other way round.
Although it was spoken in parts of it for few hundred years. Scots has been spoken there longer, except from Galloway.

No. I sourced this from a book that saved all of Scotland's writings.
I understand that.
Gaelic is cooler in some ways although this has much more books.

Did Scotland have a similar story to Wales of their natvie languages being banned from schools and generally being looked down on by institutions?
Elijah Fisher
Those areas were never fully Gaelic.
Everything north of the firth was for maybe 200 or so years but stopped being Gaelic in the 12th century in places on the east coast.
