You still have a chance.
The two comparatively ‘major’ Gaelic nations in the modern era are Scotland (Scottish Gaelic-speaking population approx.
60,000 native speakers) and Ireland (which has over 200,000). Communities where the language is still spoken natively are restricted largely to the west coast of each country and especially the Hebrides in Scotland. However, large proportions of Gaelic speakers also live in the cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh in Scotland, as well as Galway, Cork and Dublin in Ireland.
There are between 500 - 1,000 Canadian Gaels although they are generally of a very advanced age and concentrated in Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island and Newfoundland. According to the 2000 US CensusPDF (123 KiB), there are over 25,000 Irish-speakers in the United States with the majority found in urban areas with large Irish-American communities such as Boston, New York City and Chicago.

Take your pick: two known Scots, and three known Irish in my family.
The rest are insane Krauts, Renegade French (Brave ones, eery), and possessed Brits.
And.. Epic Fail to the extreme on learning the language.
(Maybe we’re from the Orkney Islands.. and are traugh.)
