There are 60,000 fluent Scottish Gaelic speakers - 1% of all Scottish people, this is mostly confined to the north west Highlands, particularly the outer hebrides, although sizable numbers of speakers exist in Inverness. 1.5 million people in Scotland speak 'Scots' (30% of the total population), this is mostly spoken in the lowlands and Scottish cities of Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen.
In Northern Ireland roughly 7% (110,000 people) speak Irish Gaelic, while a further 2% speak Ulster Scots - a variation of Scots.
There are also small pockets of speakers of Cornish in Cornwall and Manx in the Isle of Mann. The channel islands also have their own languages respectively.
