Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig) is a member of the Goidelic branch of Celtic languages. This branch includes also the Irish and Manx languages.
The Gaelic Language is spoken by around 86,000 individuals primarily in the North of Scotland and in the Western Isles (eg. Skye, Lewis, Harris). The vast majority of gaelic speakers are bilingual Gaelic / English. Today there are very few people who do not speak English.
Gaelic (or Scottish Gaelic as it is sometimes known outside Scotland) has similarities to the other Celtic languages, and is particulary close to Irish (or Irish Gaelic) to the extent that a mutual understanding is possible. This Indo-European is also spoken by small groups in Canada and Australia
There is a website where you can learn Gaelic, it may help you... http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/alba/foghl...

Maybe you could try contacting a college that teaches Gaelic, they might offer some distance learning courses.

Don't learn anything because you want, learn because God commands .
God is not in you, if you die then God will be your spirit, the spirit of the dead OR the spirit of the living that can't be conscious of life (a baby).
I try to follow the Talmud to be considered as a good one, only slave is praised. Being criticised is not a dangerous sign, you should forget all criticism's meaning. Just retain the information. For exemple: people blame you for fighting your son, you should forget all the past but remember that you should learn to control your anger

I've been using this site, and I'm doing fairly well with it. They also list other resources and do online translations if you need them. It's not easy, and I've only been at it for a short while.... but it's been fun.
