Gaelic law refers to the traditional legal systems that were practiced in Ireland and Scotland before the introduction of English law. These laws were often based on customs and oral traditions, governing various aspects of life, including property rights, marriage, and disputes. The most notable collection of these laws is the Brehon Laws in Ireland, which emphasized restorative justice and community involvement. In Scotland, Gaelic law was influenced by the Celtic culture and included systems like the Laws of the Brethren. These laws were characterized by their focus on clan relationships and social obligations. Over time, both systems were gradually replaced by more centralized legal frameworks, but their influence can still be seen in some modern practices.
