Up with the Gaelic. Gàidhlig or Scottish Gaelic is the original language of the Clan Mackay. Most people in the Clan Mackay probably speak English now but no matter what language we may speak, Gàidhlig will always be the original language of the Clan for that is the language of the culture from which we sprang and is an important part of the identity of the Clan Mackay.
It is unknown whether Robert Mackay Sr. spoke or understood Gàidhlig or not. His will was written in English.
Below are links to some Gàidhlig and Highland Scottish related websites. Most of these sites were gleaned from a 'Yahoo' search and provide excellent information about Gàidhlig and on learning the language as well as some aspects of Highland Scottish culture.
