Aberdeen has a small but active Gaelic-speaking community. The University of Aberdeen has a long Celtic-studies tradition and the city draws Gaelic speakers from the surrounding north-east.
Aberdeen's Celtic Department dates to the 19th-century Highland diaspora
The University of Aberdeen's Department of Celtic offers Gaelic at all levels. Comann Gàidhealach Obar Dheathain runs regular meetups. The Aberdeen Mòd brings Gaelic music and song to the city annually.
