The idea of a Scottish Executive “Department of the Gaidhealtachd” has been criticised on the grounds that most learners and almost half of Gaelic speakers live outside the Gaidhealtachd (Highlands).
There is also a concern that if this department were to deal with other Gaidhealtachd related matters in addition to Gaelic that Gaelic would not be high on the department’s agenda.
The report also recommends that the Executive and Gaelic Agency should make a split between the “Gaelic Heartland”, “Rest of Gaidhealtachd” and “Rest of Scotland and Diaspora” when they are making policy for Gaelic.
