About this course

Gaelic is one of the oldest living languages in the British Isles, with a literary and oral tradition stretching back well over a thousand years. Scottish Gaelic carries the history, landscape and culture of the Highlands and Islands in its very structure, and studying it connects you not only to a linguistic system but to a rich body of song, poetry, folklore and community life that remains very much alive today. As a minority language with a dedicated community of speakers and learners, Gaelic also raises important questions about language vitality, cultural identity and the role of education in sustaining heritage languages.

This four-year degree gives you the opportunity to develop genuine fluency and to engage with Gaelic literat
