kilt button words?

Clann na Geal - Children/descendents of the Gaels or Highlanders

Not sure about An grall na crell - it doesn't look like right to me.

Thanks figheadair, that's a start anyway. Can anyone else chime in on the other half?

I've ploughed through both Dwelly's and McAlpine's Gaelic dictionaries to no avail. There's something that's just not quite right about the spelling of the words grall and crell. The latter should be in the genative (possessive) but the spelling still appears incorrect and I cannot work out what the root noun should be.

I believe that we've had a thread about these buttons in the last year, but my search-fu is weak. I can't find it.

My search-fu is also weak on this one. Anyone have the link to this other thread?

I suspect it's because of the recent changes and thread locks, but I too have found that the Search here is a bit dumb and that if I simply go to Google with the same search I will invariably be lead back here to threads which were otherwise obscured to me.
