    Scottish Gaelic Dictionary

    I used to have a program on my computer that allowed me to translate an English word into a Scottish Gaelic word. I've lost the program in a major system crash. Could someone suggest a free online dictionary or translate the word "beautiful" for me?

    Well this is from a native tongue gaelic speaker from the Island of Harris in the West coast of Scotland, When we want to say beautiful in gaelic we would say boidheach, Aluinn is very beautiful, or handsome. Hope this helps, Joan
