1) How does the world preceive Scotland and its Gaelic culture?

2) Is there something about Scots Gaelic that makes it less accesible, or acceptable than Irish?

I don't think the World knows a thing about it.

The Isles are remote, the Highlands are hard to reach. I think Gaelic like a lot of regional languages - Euskera Welsh etc - is having a rough ride these days, TV, Radio, the Internet, Globalism.

To those fighting the trend I wish good luck - they will need it.

I also think that far far more important to Scotland is her autonomy, now that is a Global ball game!
