Episode Details

Highland Council is pushing to make its entire region an “area of linguistic significance” under the new Scottish Languages Act, aiming to boost the economy and education through Gaelic — with over 18,000 speakers already in the area. This move, backed by landmark legislation that officially recognizes Gaelic and Scots, empowers parents to demand Gaelic schools and expands language qualifications. Officials believe supporting Gaelic isn’t just cultural — it’s key to job creation, community retention, and tying education, culture, and business together. The proposal heads to the Gaelic committee next week for final review, marking a major step in securing Gaelic’s future as a living, thriving language in Scotland.
