I Learned from the Gaels is an EP by Scottish indie folk artist King Creosote, released on May 28, 2012 on Domino Records. Produced by Paul Savage, the EP features full-band re-recordings of three tracks from Creosote's vinyl-only album, That Might Be It, Darling (2010), alongside a new track, "Little Man", featuring frequent collaborator Alan "Gummi Bako" Stewart on lead vocals.
The EP was subsequently compiled alongside follow-up EPs, To Deal With Things and It Turned Out for the Best, to create the full length-album, That Might Well Be It, Darling (2013).
Drowned in Sound's Dan Cooper-Gavin gave the EP a positive review, stating: "While Diamond Mine often felt like a rather solitary record, I Learned From The Gaels is anything but, with its ramshackle glee a world away from Jon Hopkins’ atmospherics. But while it’s not an EP that demands to be cherished, it’s certainly one to savour regardless."
