The celtic language of Scotland is Gaelic, or GÃ idhlig.
Along with Irish and Manx ( from the Isle of Man) it is part of the Goidelic branch of celtic languages. Whereas Welsh and Cornish are from the Brythonic branch.
Gaelic came to Scotland between the 3rd and 6th centuries CE, pushing the native Picts to the north and west. The Picts may have spoken a Brythonic version of celtic, over time the two groups merged into one nation, the Scots of today. Gaelic began to be replaced in the 16th century as a version of Middle English known as Early Scots developed in the south of Scotland and gradually spread through the whole.
The UK census of 2001 showed over 98 000 gaelic speakers in Scotland. The |Scottish Parliament publishes documents in Gaelic, and has held debates in Gaelic.
