Glasgow Gaelic is an emerging accent of Mid-Minch Gaelic. Around 10% of Scottish Gaelic speakers in Scotland are in Glasgow, second only to the Western Isles in concentration.

Glasgow Gaelic emerged due to Scottish Gaelic-medium education as well as a migration from the Outer Hebrides to Glasgow.

In 2019 urban poet Niall O'Gallagher was appointed Bàrd Baile Ghlaschu, or as the City of Glasgow's first ever Gaelic language Poet Laureate.
