It's heartening to know that they do teach English in Scottish schools. After all it is the official language of international commerce and of airline pilots...
The local school in my family glen teaches some of the time in SCot's Gaelic and they've recently opened a Gaelic-medium school in Inverness. It'll be interesting to see how well it does over the coming years. Apparently, it's over-subscribed at the moment!
I remember my grandad speaking fluent Gaelic when I was a lad in the 60s, mind, he was born in the 1890s! I also remember my mum's mum speaking fluent Welsh!
I know a handful of phrases in each, but no more, as yet.
Cheers
Bruce
