Gaelic In Scottish History and Culture - The text of a book by Michael Newton, published in 1997. A resourceful analysis of the position of Scots Gaelic throughout its history and how, from being the language of the Scottish Court, it lost ground to such an extent that by the eighteenth century it was no longer recognised as the National Language of Scotland, but rather the language of the Highlands alone. Micheal Newton also addresses other topics related to Scottish culture such as music and folklore, using this to develop the essential criteria as to why Gaelic does matter in today's world.
