CB isn't the only place to find the Gaelic. Antigonish and area has plenty. The language, music and culture is still strong.

@oshcelt Not that's it's any of my business being American, but I hope one day Scotland will use Scottish Gaelic as a first language and minimalize its use of English. Same goes for Ireland and Wales. I don't want to see these beautiful Celtic languages and cultures die. Manx and Cornish are endangered enough as it is.

Great stuff....We in the Scottish Highlands could learn a lot about reinvigorating our native culture from our Cape Breton siblings :)
