Map of Scotland showing distribution of speakers of Scots and Scottish Gaelic in different regions of Scotland, based on UK Census Data. Scots speakers are indicated in blue, with deeper colours representing greater proportions of Scots speakers. Gaelic speakers are indicated in green, with deeper colours representing greater proportion of Gaelic speakers. The map also has a key, indicating that the darkest shading is of areas with over 50% of the population speaking either Scots or Scottish Gaelic, and the lightest areas showing where less than 15% of the population speaks these languages. The green shades showing Gaelic are distributed over the north and west of the map; the blue shades are found in the North East especially, with smaller pockets of larger numbers in the South West and Borders.
