Yes, the Gaelic language and culture faced significant repression in Scotland and Ireland, particularly during the 19th and early 20th centuries. In Scotland, the Education Act of 1872 effectively banned Gaelic in schools, promoting English instead. In Ireland, English became the dominant language through policies that discouraged the use of Irish, especially during British rule. These actions contributed to a decline in Gaelic speakers and cultural practices.
