@mariavp1 try searching for Gaelic College of Celtic Arts and Crafts, located not far from where I grew up. Both summer school and online Gaelic language courses are offered, good luck.

I have been listening to the Rankins since I was VERY little and singing it with family members. They've been in my heart ever since and I'm planning on using their music for my Hand Fasting one day! =) LOVE you Rankin Family! Blessed be.

Suas e!

@aerben2010 that isn't necessarily true. At least someone must have been Scottish or Irish down their lines.

I love this song and I can can sing along with it. Do you know what the lyrics mean?

@NorthLimitation Okay, now I see. Let us say that Scottish and Irish are both Gaelic. So then we end up with: Scottish Gaelic, Ulster Gaelic, Munster Gaelic, Leinster Gaelic and Connacht Gaelic. In the medieval ages, Scottish Gaelic was used as the standard form, whereas An Caighdean is now the universal form in Ireland (which is still inferior to the dialects themselves).

@sauenn

No but you're missing the point, Scottish Gaelic today is closer to the original Classical Gaelic (which was the form of "pan-Gaelic" to which I refer) - this Classical Gaelic was used over the educated classes in Scotland and Ireland, through church, law, arts etc.

[sauenn]

@NorthLimitation That is not true. Irish exist far longer than Scottish. Already from 500 A.D. there is an Irish literature, but it is assumable that it was in existence from even longer ago. That is why people who want to learn about the ancient celts, learn Old-Irish and Middle-Welsh, Scottish (or medieval Scottish) is not even mensioned. It is wrong to say that there was something like pan-Gaelic (even nowadays, there is no universal form) there were multiple dialects next to each other.

@sauenn

Considering that Scottish Gaelic is actually closer to the original medieval Gaelic (neither Irish nor Scottish, just pan-Gaelic) - it's probably more accurate to say that Irish is a reformed dialect of Scottish.
