Stay with a Gaelic Speaker in the Outer Hebrides

Gaelic is the first language of the Outer Hebrides. Today the islands are the main stronghold of this lyrical language in Scotland, and one of the few places you’ll hear it spoken as you travel around – on the croft, in church, in a café or on the ferry. Dating back centuries, Gaelic is one of the oldest languages in Europe and is more than a thousand years older than English.

If you really want a taste of our Gaelic language and culture, we have places to stay in the Outer Hebrides where Gaelic is spoken by the host or by staff. You can practice your Gaelic with them or just enjoy hearing this beautiful language being spoken!
