Overview
Based in Scotland’s capital and festival city, our research community is at the forefront of policy development and cultural innovation. We work at the cutting edge of linguistic, cultural, literary, and sociolinguistic research in the Celtic languages, with a particular focus on Scottish Gaelic. We play a leading role in relation to language planning and maintenance, particularly for Scottish Gaelic.
Join the Celtic and Scottish Studies programme offered by The University of Edinburgh and undertake a 20,000-word dissertation under the guidance of an experienced and well-published supervisor. Our Celtic Studies expertise covers:
- Old Irish and Middle Welsh language, literature and culture
- Scottish Gaelic and modern Irish language, literature, and culture
- sociolinguistics
- language policy for the Celtic languages
Facilities
Our research resources and facilities are outstanding. We hold the Celtic Class Library, which holds a wide range of specialist materials, and the larger Scottish Studies Library. We are ideally placed to explore the theory and practice of working with archives, drawing extensively on an unrivalled range of sound, video, film and photographic resources in the School of Scottish Studies Archives.
