Learning Scots Gaelic!

 I've thought about learning Scots Gaelic for a long time, but have now finally signed up for an evening class with Edinburgh Council's Adult Education Programme

The council currently only offers three levels of courses, Beginners, Post Beginners and Intermediate. University of Edinburgh offers a wider range of classes, though they're more expensive. 

Over a million people across the world are learning Scots Gaelic with Duolingo. Find out more here
