    I demand that this document is available in Gaelic. Monsieur Salmond would never have forgotten the natural language of the Scots.

    What about Norn? Just becaused people have stopped speaking it; doesnot mean that an ancient languauge should be discriminated against! Join the SNOT (Speak Norn not Other Tongues)campaign!

    And what about Norwegian?

    After all the money that WIE has spent in bringing Norwegian business to the Hebrides, coupled with their strenuous efforts at eradicating locals.

    Surely there must be some sort of official recognition?

    Lets not forget that if the situation were reversed there would be a minister for gaelic now firmly in place in Trondheim, warmly welcoming any Hebrideans wanting to establish businesses in Norway.
