    Can someone confirm or correct this:

    I plan to use this Gaelic phrase when I "toast in" two new members in the Caledonian Society of Norway at tomorrow's meeting.

    Can someone please confirm or correct this Gaelic phrase and translation:

    Slainte mhor, Slainte an Righ na Ban-righinn
    Slainte agus buaidh gu brath
    le Gillean Albannach.

    Translation:

    Good health, health to the King and Queen
    Health and success for ever
    to the Caledonian lads

    This looks right to me, but I'm but a student and am not fluent. Alba gu brath!
