There are also a number of Manx-medium playgroups around the island. Unfortunately there isn't a Manx medium secondary school, though some Manx language tuition is available in many schools.

Glasgow has been the one Scottish city to retain a decent pocket of Gaelic speakers outside the Outer Hebrides. I wonder, has there ever been any regional requests for schools to cater for Cornish, Manx etc?
