Gaeldom
.
The Gàidhealtachd (Eng: Gaeldom), usually refers to the Scottish highlands and islands, and especially the Scottish Gaelic culture of the area. This is in contrast to Irish Gaelic where an Irish speaking area is known as a Gaeltacht (itself a loanword from Scottish Gaelic). The term is also used to apply to the Gaelic-speaking areas of Nova Scotia, Canada. Increasingly, the Gàidhealtachd refers to the regions in Scotland and Nova Scotia where Scottish Gaelic is spoken as the native language by most or some part of the population.
