In fact, my cousin's little girl attended the school, think she might even still be there. Here is a link (can't find a website). http://www.hmie.gov.uk/documents/ins...ndersAcPS.html

Yeah OK then. There's obviously a need for a BBC site in Gaelic 'cos, despite all the figures available to the contrary, there must be a massive demand for it. :rolleyes:

You can read up on all your statistics all you like, but you can't judge because you don't live there. Most Scottish people I know would have jumped at the chance to learn Gaelic. It's something that is spoken about quite a lot and has been over the years.
It's easy to claim "Most Scottish people I know would have jumped at the chance to learn Gaelic" but the fact is that over 98% of them haven't. Have you? |

I would jump at the chance of learning Mandarin, but in reality I can't be arsed to do it..... just like the Scots and Gaelic.

I haven't bothered to learn Spanish or Italian either, or brain surgery coming to think on it, but would love to. It's got nothing to do with not being arsed to bother, rather a time thing as we get older. |

No I haven't. I wasn't given the choice at school.

"Too busy" is the excuse we use to justify not really being that bothered. |

Course it is. If there's something you really want to do you find the time.

riposte......seriously, some comrades have been KIA for trying to keep this Union together, BTW Father Scottish, Mother English so yes on 'Hadrian's Wall' . But do you know what? (not being a Walt) when u have been to a young soldier's funeral with the flag of the Union wrapped around the coffin you tend to try and realise that its worth preserving and fighting for.... Scottishcelts... READ OUR HISTORY! (not the Hollywood Version!) |
