The official language of Scotland is English. However, in some remote areas, particularly in the Western Isles, people speak Gaelic as a first language. Scots (a dialect of standard English) is also spoken throughout Scotland and can be difficult to understand for people not used to it.

The official language of the UK is English. Gaelic, Welsh, Cornish and Manx are recognised regional languages although the number of people speaking these languages regularly is limited. In addition, BSL(British Sign Language) was officially recognised by the government as being a full, independent language in March 2003.

There is only one official language in Scotland and that is English. There are small pockets of Gaelic spoken however this isn't a widespread or common language
