I'm 67, lived in Glasgow all my life, and I don't know anyone who speaks Gaelic. Why on earth do they think it's a good idea for people to learn a language that they will never use? Just stupid!

There is a simple issue to point out here. Ireland tried this. Instead of focussing on historical and literal value of the language, to explore it with intellect, they created reservations for it then tried to force it as alternate first language. Gaelic is dying in Ireland.

It is dying simply because it’s utility is dying.... - just following the same path as Latin

It's value is cultural and historical. Gaelic poetry and music are superb. As a cultural export, tastefully marketed, it would be a great benefit to the Highland economy. Bilingual train signs in Airdrie, less so.

My point is it as little day to day utility - as a thing to be studied, sure...

And celebrated. London, Liverpool and Chester have all hosted the Eisteddfod. A Mòd every year at Usher Hall in Edinburgh would be fab. I get sick of left wing comedians from Oxford coming up for the fringe! They're all the bloody same.
