Gaelic
In modern times, Scottish Gaelic thrives within heartland communities and plays a significant role in enriching the visitor experience through a wealth of Gaelic songs, choirs, music and events across Argyll & the Isles.
Today you can see the Gaelic language on road signs across the region, hear it on radio and television, or by locals chatting in pubs!
Gaelic is still spoken by Scots, but many more embrace the rich heritage of traditional music, bagpiping and cultural experiences, such as ceilidhs.
