Wilson McLeod's comprehensive study explores the evolving role of Gaelic in modern Scotland from the introduction of state education in 1872 to the present day. He examines government policies and the efforts of activists and campaigners to maintain and promote Gaelic. McLeod also delves into the competing ideologies that have shaped the decline, marginalization, and revitalization of the language. Drawing from a diverse range of sources in English and Gaelic, the book delves into the development of Gaelic language policy between 1975 and 1989. It scrutinizes the campaign for the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act 2005, its contents, and implementation. Additionally, it assesses the development and delivery of Gaelic education and media from the late 1980s to the present. McLeod's interdisciplinary approach combines history, law, language policy, and sociolinguistics to provide a comprehensive analysis of Gaelic language policy in Scotland.
