In this extensive study of the changing role of Gaelic in modern
Scotland from the introduction of state education in 1872 up to the
present day Wilson McLeod looks at the policies of government and
the work of activists and campaigners who have sought to maintain
and promote Gaelic. In addition, he scrutinises the competing
ideologies that have driven the decline, marginalisation and
subsequent revitalisation of the language. Taking an
interdisciplinary approach at the boundary of history, law,
language policy and sociolinguistics the book draws upon a wide
range of sources in both English and Gaelic to consider in detail
the development of the language policy regime for Gaelic that was
developed between 1975 and 1989. It examines the campaign for the
Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005, its contents and
implementation; and assesses the development and delivery of
development and delivery of Gaelic education and media from the
late 1980s to the present.
