Thread Name: Fairwell to Scots Gaelic?
Subject: RE: BS: Fairwell to Scots Gaelic?
I was recently at Feis Obar Dheathain (Aberdeen, Scotland) and I was among the oldest there (apart from the tutors!) I'm 17 and i'd say the majority of the kids there were under 12. There is a gaelic school in Aberdeen, even though it isnt common to speak gaelic over here. The kids are well aware of the facts and figures, and have even decided to teach friends and family some gaelic, which i think is very encouraging. I certainly know that over here, in the north east of Scotland, we are trying our best to revive the gaelic.
