    A bheul thu Gaidhlig agat?

    Pride in language, culture comes into full flower in Cape Breton
    There’s been a reawakening of the culture that’s got nothing to do with tartans and the other Scottish stereotypes

    That's the headline and byline in a story about Gaelic in New Scotland's most Gaelic region, Cape Breton Island. I thought you might like this article. Hopefully there's still room for a little tartan...

    Although the article points out the suppression of Gaelic by the RC Church, comments below rightly correct the journalist that the situation was much more complex. There were also RC clergy who promoted and nurtured Gaelic and likewise there were detractors and supporters among the Protestant clergy.
