- English abstract
- Between 1997 and 2011, parents and other language activists in Edinburgh engaged in a long and difficult campaign to establish a dedicated Gaelic-immersion primary school in the city. This social history of that campaign provides us with a detailed picture of a grassroots language-revival initiative as one element of a broader social movement to promote the Gaelic language in Scotland, and over the course of this campaign, we see how grassroots Gaelic activists challenged received notions of Gaelic's value and place in Edinburgh in support of more ambitious Gaelic development in the city.
