New analysis of Scotland's 2011 Census has given further insights into the use of Gaelic by families.

The latest results suggest 41% of Gaelic-speaking children aged five to 11 live in households where all the adults had some knowledge of Gaelic.

Also, 25,000 people aged three and over reported using the language at home.

In the Western Isles, 73.7% of Gaelic speakers used the language at home followed by 41.5% in the Highlands and 33.4% in Argyll and Bute.

Previously, census results suggested there were 57,375 Gaelic speakers in Scotland and 87,000 people who claimed to have some knowledge of the language.
