Who are the Scots?
Gaelic became the predominant language across Scotland in the 9th century as more Scots arrived from Ireland. Gaelic is still spoken in the Western Isles and some parts of the Highland region of the Scottish mainland. The Scottish Executive and the BBC have sponsored an initiative to encourage the more widespread use of Gaelic across Scotland.
