Regarding Scottish-related programs in Canada: The University of Guelph in Ontario has a graduate program in Scottish Studies (within the History Dept I believe), though from what I understand their emphasis is not on Scottish Gaelic/Highlands. You should check out the information regarding their program online: http://www.uoguelph.ca/scottish/ Undoubtedly there must be someone from Guelph on H-Albion who can provide you with more information. You may also want to check out Simon Fraser University in British Columbia which I believe has a developing Scottish Studies program: http://www.sfu.ca/scottish/ St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia has a Celtic Studies Dept which places an emphasis on the Scottish Gaelic (language, literature, folklore, & history) part of Celtic Studies, esp. regarding the Highland diaspora in North America (in general) and Nova Scotia/ Canadian Maritimes (in particular). Though we do have a small MA program in Celtic Studies, the university is primarily an undergraduate one and there is no PhD program. For more information please check out our website and/or contact the chair of the dept (see contact info online): http://www.stfx.ca/academic/celtic-studies/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Měcheal Linkletter Michael Linkletter Roinn na Ceiltis Department of Celtic Studies Oilthigh Naoimh Fransaidh Xavier St. Francis Xavier University Antigonis, Alba Nuadh, Canada Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada mlinklet@stfx.ca http://people.stfx.ca/mlinklet/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >I attended the University of Hawai'i at Hilo for my undergraduate >studies.
