I can't speak for further North, but it's not taught in any form where I grew up, or where I live now. When I was at school it was always thought of as a bit of a "Highlands / Islands / North of Scotland" thing, there's definitely not much Gaelic in or around the Central Belt or further south.

This is pretty illustrative really;



And then when you compare that to population density, you get an idea of how few actually speak it:
