Summary

Description1891 Scotland Languages.jpg	English: Map showing the use of Gaelic and English in Scotland in 1891. In effect, the map shows which areas were bilingual. The shaded areas show what percentage of the population in that area spoke both Gaelic and English. Note the red line encircling much of the northwest mainland section of Scotland, inside which 50% of the population speaks Gaelic and English. To the south of that area, a smaller percentage of the population spoke Gaelic; to the west of that area, a smaller percentage of the population spoke English. In 1891, Gaelic was spoken by some part of the population across much of Scotland, and especially the northwest.
