Kilmuir (Scottish Gaelic: Cille Mhoire) is a village on the west coast of the Trotternish peninsula in the north of the island of Skye, and a civil parish covering the north of the peninsula. It is in the Scottish council area of Highland and is the only place in Scotland (apart from the Western Isles) where Scottish Gaelic is spoken by about half of the population.Mac an Tàilleir, Iain (2004) {{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20071022140555/http://www.linguae-celticae.org/dateien/Gaelic_1901-2001.ppt 1901–2001 Gaelic in the Census]}}.
