Gaelic in Scotland, Gaelic in Canada: Challenges, Prospects, Connections

Join Dr. Robert Dunbar, University of Edinburgh, for this Scotland-Canada Academic Partnership Inaugural Lecture.

Gaelic, a language with a history of over 1,500 years in Scotland and 250 in Canada, is now a highly vulnerable minority language. It was once the third most spoken language in Canada at the time of Confederation. Professor Dunbar will explore efforts to support Gaelic in Scotland and Canada and the lessons the two communities can learn from each other.
