Scottish Gaelic Revival

The Scottish Gaelic Revival was a cultural movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries aimed at revitalizing and promoting the use of the Gaelic language and culture in Scotland. It sought to preserve Gaelic traditions, music, literature, and identity amid declining speakers and increasing Anglicization. The revival included initiatives like Gaelic education, publishing, and cultural festivals, fostering pride and awareness. It played a vital role in strengthening Gaelic's place in Scottish heritage and contributed to broader discussions on cultural preservation and national identity.
