List of English words of Scottish Gaelic origin

This is a list of English words borrowed from Scottish Gaelic.

The following words are of Goidelic origin but it cannot be ascertained whether the source language was Old Irish or one of the modern Goidelic languages.

Because of the wide overlap of Scottish English and Lowland Scots, it can be difficult to ascertain if a word should be considered Lowland Scots or Scottish English.

These words tend to be more closely associated with Lowland Scots but can occur in Scottish English too.

There are numerous additional place-name elements in Scotland which are derived from Gaelic, but the majority of these have not entered the English or Scots language as productive nouns and often remain opaque to the average Scot.
