It is really bad up here at times, not so much in the bigger places but out in the sticks is really bad. A friend of my wife at work comes from rural Skye, her parents left the Island when they were quite young to move to Inverness. Her family has been on the island for several generations but are still considered outsiders. When they went back for her grandfathers funeral the Islanders closed ranks on them, Made the family sit at the back of the church and held the service in Gaelic. At the end of each passage the priest would say something along the lines of "and now in English for them at the back"Its sad but true, it happens so many places. It even happens within countries, the highlands is terrible for it.
