It isn't really. Gaelic came from Ireland to Scotland around 500AD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Scottish_Gaelic

Oh, is e Albannach a tha annam, tha beagan Gaidhlig agam, ach chan eil mi fileanta ann.

Oh I'm not scottish ... always thought gaelic languages were native to the islands but not recognised. Glad to see thats not the case. There are not many cultural references to it ... I came across it from the movie - Million Dollar Baby.
