There must be some form of revival in Gaelic going on as BBC Alba, which I can get down here in London, has kiddies' programs such as Bob the Builder, Thomas the Tank Engine, Peppa Pig and many more all in Gaelic. I was born in Paisley and my father's family came from Mull. My Grandfather spoke Gaelic and, funnily enough, the Mod was held in Paisley this year!
By the way, don't rise to Musket's doom and gloom rants. Have a look at the BBC's website on Scotland's economy. GDP is almost identical with England's and that's without oil and gas revenues. Looking forward to a happy and prosperous New Year and I mean 2015.

The Royal National Mòd (Scottish Gaelic: Am Mòd Nàiseanta Rìoghail) is the most important of several major Mòds that are held annually, mostly in Scotland. It is the main festival of Scottish Gaelic literature, song, arts and culture, and one of the more notable peripatetic cultural festivals in Scotland. It is often referred to simply as the Mòd.
