**List: Gaelic Ministry the Bible ( the Bible ) Gaelic... "The Gaelic of Scotland is spoken by about 100,000 Scots, of whom only a small number are exclusively Gaelic speakers. (See also Irish.)   English is now the language of Scotland, politically united with England since 1707, and Gaelic is now spoken chiefly in the northwestern region, the Scottish High- lands.   Originally inhabited by the Picts, a people of disputed origin, Scotland was settled by Celts from Ireland about the middle of the first millennium A.D.   Until the Reformation the Gaelic of Scotland was identical with that of Ireland, and shared the same literature.   An independent Scottish Gaelic then developed.   Manx is more closely akin to Scottish Gaelic than to Irish. Before the publication of the 1767 New Testament, Irish Scriptures were used in Scotland.   Scottish Gaelic is printed in Roman character."--1000 Tongues, 1972   [Info only] **File: Gaelic Bible History (3)--1860   S.
