Subject: RE: Help: Gaelic Scotland, As others see us!
Hey all,

thats a good point lads,

I'm 19 and from germany and I've been several times to the outer hebbrides(harris), edinburgh and glasgow... The opinion I got of Scotland is that the people there should be more aware of their culture and language which is gaelic... as some lad said on this page here gaelic is more spoken by the older people and the old celtic culture gets lost. The Gaelic culture is one of the last celtic cultures in europe and hopefully it will live on in you Scots as it did the last centuries. So I'd suggest to teach gaelic in school again...or to do anything else to keep the scottish gaelic alive.. like one guy here who is starting to make an overview of gaelic music.

but anyway scotland and its people is one of the worlds most beautiful places...
