Well, as Clan Morrison is an Isle of Lewis tribe, I'll chime in on this thread if you don't mind.
Many Hebridean Web sites carry an English and a Gaelic version. Here are a few examples:
The West Highland Free Press
An Lanntair (art center)
The Gaelic Arts Agency
Ness Historical Society
And even when the Web site is in English, Gaelic can clearly be seen as a part of the culture by its liberal use. In this example, for most of the place names: Ness - Isle of Lewis, which states that "Rural Lewis has traditionally been Gaelic speaking, which has largely shaped the unique culture and way of life of the Nisich the people of Ness." And in this example: Fios - Ness Community Newspaper.
Gaelic is far from being a dead language.

Scott Gilmore
