Gu dearbh, I am rather surprised to hear, apparently, that there isn't at least one there already.

According to tha last census for which details are fully available (1991), there are more Gaelic speakers in Fife than there are in Perth & Kinross. Yet P&K has (to my knowledge) two high schools with some Gaelic medium provision, while Fife has not a single school where Gaelic can even be studied in the same way that French or Spanish might be.

There is also Gaelic in Bun-sgoil Goodleyburn too in Perth.

Yes. Tha mi a' creidsinn gur ann air sg`ath 's Goodley burn a tha foghlam Gaidhlig ann am Perth Academy.
