The main stronghold of the language continues to be the Western Isles (Na h-Eileanan Siar), where the overall proportion of speakers remains at 61.1% and all parishes return values over 50%. The Parish of Kilmuir in Northern Skye is also over this threshold of 50%.

Proportions over 20% register throughout the isles of Skye, Raasay, Tiree, Islay and Colonsay, and the already mentioned parish of Lochalsh in Highland.

The stronghold of Gaelic (Gàidhlig) in Scotland is the Outer Hebrides, the Isle of Skype and all along that north-west coast.
Of course you will also find English-speaking parts here (not everyone will be a Gaelic-speaker) and likewise you will find Gaelic speakers all over Scotland especially in any of the main cities, Glasgow/ Glaschu and Edinburgh/ Dùn Èideann for example.

The Scots themselves, probably. I doubt the trees and rocks ever use it at all.
