Yes Guest,
In other threads I've been proud to inform that I'm a Scot living in Scotland and this is precisely why I fond the whole thing even more confusing.
Does one become a Gael when they have learned the language to a certain standard?
Is a non Gaelic speaking person of Gaelic speaking parents a Gael?
Is it more an attitude that makes one a Gael.
As there was a great merger of Gaels (Scots to their enemies) and Picts in previous centuries, are those of Pictish blood excempt from ever becoming Gaels?
Are Nordo Gaels a less pure version of Gael?
I've no problem in knowing what a Gael was but my original question is in the present tense.
