Around 100 place-names within the modern city of Glasgow are of Gaelic origin or survived thanks to Gaelic-speaking people living locally. Gaelic was spoken in the Glasgow area from as early as the 10th century and became the language of the majority of local people for a significant period. Gaelic was the first language of the kingdom of Alba, the kingdom later known in English as Scotland. Discover and learn about Glasgow’s Gaelic place-names with GLASCHU!
