Where does Gaelic come from, and how many people in Scotland still speak Gaelic? Why did Gaelic decline in Scotland? What does Scottish Gaelic sound like, and how is it related to other Celtic languages? What role did Dal Riata play in the spread of Gaelic culture, and what happened to the Picts? In this documentary on the history of Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic), we'll answer these questions and explore the profound impact that Gaelic had (and continues to have) on the people of Scotland.
