This page lists biographies of notable people who speak or spoke the Scottish Gaelic language with some degree of fluency, but not necessarily as native speakers. In 1891, over 254,000 people in Scotland spoke Scottish Gaelic, however, by 2011, it had fallen to just over 57,000. [1] Largely in part due to Scottish Government policy initiatives, the number of speakers has increased, with the 2022 Scottish census recording over 69,000 speakers. [1]
